Hello,  
i have installed elastic search and configured it in RHEL, installed kibana as well.  
Elasticsearch: elasticsearch-6.7.0  
Kibana: kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86\_64

both are in running state, ports 5061(kibana) and 9200(elasticsearch) are listening,  
able to access kibana dashboard.  
problem is when i open dashboard it says " **Cannot connect to the Elasticsearch cluster currently configured for Kibana. To use the full set of free features in this distribution of Kibana, please update Elasticsearch to the default distribution."**

\<\<\<\< kibana.yml \>\>\>

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.

server.port: 5601  
server.host: "10.253.148.199  
server.basePath: ""  
server.rewriteBasePath: false  
server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576  
server.name: "$HOSTNAME"  
elasticsearch.preserveHost: true  
kibana.index: ".kibana"  
kibana.defaultAppId: "home"  
elasticsearch.username: ""  
elasticsearch.password: ""  
server.ssl.enabled: false

\<\<\<\< elasticsearch.yml \>\>\>

path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch  
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch  
http.port: 9200  
bootstrap.system\_call\_filter: false  
network.host: 10.253.148.199

Note: i have used .tar.gz package for instillation of both E&K  
can anyone help me with this, deployed both in single node.

Kibana 6.7.0 will fail to start up if you use:

```auto
elasticsearch.username: ""
elasticsearch.password: ""

```

Try removing these settings.
