Hi Is it possible to have multiple versions of Kibana connected to the same Elasticsearch? I am running version 5.6.3 and I'd like to also install 6.x to try it out without upgrading elastic since it could be intrusive to my users. Thank you ---

No, the version of Kibana is tied to the version of Elasticsearch. ---
