I am using Elasticsearch 6.5.1. After I started trial license, and ran bin/elasticsearch, it successfully started. But one minute later, it popped up error " ExecutableScriptTransform] [\*\*\*\*\*\*] failed to execute [script] transform for \*\*\*\*\*". And it said "PainlessScript.convertToScriptException", PainlessScript$Script.execute(ctx.vars.email\_recipient = (ctx.payload.kibana\_settings.hits.total \> 0 && ctx.payload.kibana\_settings.hits.hits[0].\_source.kibana\_settings.xpack != null) ? ctx.payload.kibana\_settings.hits.hits[0].\_source.kibana\_settings.xpack.default\_admin\_email : null;ct ...:1152) ~[?:?]

Actually I haven't installed kibana yet. So what does it mean? When I downgrade the license to basic, the error disappears.

It also shows:
