Hey @lolcool, welcome to the discussion boards!

It looks like you're running Kibana version `8.0.0`, but you're connecting to Elasticsearch version `7.1.0`. Where did you download Kibana from? We haven't released version 8 yet...did you happen to download the source code from Github instead of downloading from our [downloads page](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana)?

I cloned from github as I want to work on logtrail plugin so I was setting up the dev environment from github page:  
`https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md`

Ok, that makes sense. If you want to build against `7.1.0`, then you should checkout the appropriate branch before starting Kibana:

Assuming you have a remote called `upstream` pointing to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana), you'll want:

`git checkout upstream/7.1`

Then, run `yarn kbn bootstrap` before starting Kibana.

Alternatively, you can run directly from `master`, which will target `8.0.0`. Then, you can start ES by running `yarn es start` from the kibana root directory. That will start up the an ephemeral instance of ES on your machine for quick testing and development

Ok so I tried `yarn es source` which is same as `yarn es start` but it gave me this error. i already ran `yarn kbn bootstrap` before

Ah sorry, I meant to say run `yarn es snapshot` in my post above.

To answer your question anyway:

> [@lolcool](#):

Did you clone the elasticsearch repository at this location? `yarn es source` assumes that you've already cloned the ES repository for it to perform the build.

I haven't come across that before, but I'm not an expert on the Elasticsearch build system. If you don't need a custom ES build, I highly recommend using `yarn es snapshot` instead. It'll be faster too 🙂

No worries, I moved to older kibana version and tried it and it worked. Thank you so much for the help! Have a great day
