Hi. I have a Kibana server, that this configuration: server.port: 5601 server.host: "log-kibana-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr" server.name: "log-kibana-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr" elasticsearch.hosts: ["[http://log-elasticsearch-client-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr:9200](http://log-elasticsearch-client-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr:9200)"] But went i try to web access show me this message. ![Captura%20de%20pantalla%20de%202019-03-26%2016-25-57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/b/8b1b913b07eb1d2c39bb6f432a356ef06d64ddbd.png) The message log's show next messages. : Mar 26 16:19:46 log-kibana-01 kibana: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-03-26T22:19:46Z","tags":["warning","task\_manager"],"pid":15256,"message":"PollError [illegal\_argument\_exception] request [/\_template/.kibana\_task\_manager] contains unrecognized parameter: [include\_type\_name]"} Mar 26 16:19:49 log-kibana-01 kibana: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-03-26T22:19:49Z","tags":["warning","task\_manager"],"pid":15256,"message":"PollError [illegal\_argument\_exception] request [/\_template/.kibana\_task\_manager] contains unrecognized parameter: [include\_type\_name]"} Mar 26 16:19:53 log-kibana-01 kibana: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-03-26T22:19:53Z","tags":["warning","task\_manager"],"pid":15256,"message":"PollError [illegal\_argument\_exception] request [/\_template/.kibana\_task\_manager] contains unrecognized parameter: [include\_type\_name]"} Elastic work fine: [root@log-kibana-01 kibana]# curl -X GET '[http://log-elasticsearch-client-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr:9200](http://log-elasticsearch-client-01.alpha.ci.ucr.ac.cr:9200)' { "name" : "log-elasticsearch-client-01", "cluster\_name" : "log-elasticsearch", "cluster\_uuid" : "_na_", "version" : { "number" : "6.6.1", "build\_flavor" : "default", "build\_type" : "rpm", "build\_hash" : "1fd8f69", "build\_date" : "2019-02-13T17:10:04.160291Z", "build\_snapshot" : false, "lucene\_version" : "7.6.0", "minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "5.6.0", "minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "5.0.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } Thanks for help me ---

Hi- The settings you have shown, should work. Is there maybe some other parameter in the kibana.yml file causing this? I see it complaining about an unrecognized parameter, any other errors before this one in your logs? ---

Even though all three packages were updated successfully, I had to restart the server as elasticsearch was still showing ``` curl -XGET localhost:9200/ { "name" : "62TeV0K", "cluster_name" : "spelk", "cluster_uuid" : "1VBC4WxqSEqhHJDQj1NYlw", "version" : { "number" : "6.6.0", "build_flavor" : "default", "build_type" : "deb", "build_hash" : "a9861f4", "build_date" : "2019-01-24T11:27:09.439740Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "7.6.0", "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0", "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` Now its showing correct version ``` curl -XGET localhost:9200/ { "name" : "62TeV0K", "cluster_name" : "spelk", "cluster_uuid" : "1VBC4WxqSEqhHJDQj1NYlw", "version" : { "number" : "6.7.0", "build_flavor" : "default", "build_type" : "deb", "build_hash" : "8453f77", "build_date" : "2019-03-21T15:32:29.844721Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "7.7.0", "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0", "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` This didn't resolve it either, I had a .kibana\_2 index which had read\_only\_allow\_delete setting to true > FATAL [cluster\_block\_exception] blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)]; :: {"path":"/.kibana\_2/\_mapping/doc","query":{},"body":"{"dynamic":"strict","properties":{"apm-telemetry":{"properties":{"has\_any\_services":{"type":"boolean"},"services\_per\_agent":{"properties":{"python":{"type":"long","null\_value":0},"java":{"type":"long","null\_value":0},"nodejs":{"type":"long","null\_value":0},"js-base":{"type":"long","null\_value":0},"ruby":{"type":"long","null\_value":0},"go":{"type":"long","null\_value":0}}}}},"canvas-workpad":{"dynamic":false,"properties":{"name":{"type":"text","fields":{"keyword":{"type":"keyword"}}},"id":{"type":"text","index":false},"@timestamp":{"type":"date"},"@created":{"type":"date"}}},"config":{"dynamic":"true","properties":{"buildNum":{"type":"keyword"}}},"dashboard":{"properties":{"description":{"type":"text"},"hits":{"type":"integer"}, Kibana kept restarting and throwing the same error so I changed it: > curl -XPUT localhost:9200/.kibana\_2/\_settings -d '{"index":{"blocks":{"read\_only\_allow\_delete": "false"} } }' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' > curl -XGET localhost:9200/.kibana\_2/\_settings?pretty > { > ".kibana\_2" : { > "settings" : { > "index" : { > "number\_of\_shards" : "1", > "auto\_expand\_replicas" : "0-1", > "blocks" : { > "read\_only\_allow\_delete" : "false" > }, > "provided\_name" : ".kibana\_2", > "creation\_date" : "1543874043680", > "number\_of\_replicas" : "0", > "uuid" : "SShhSz42QQuQupVK5Z3dLQ", > "version" : { > "created" : "6050199", > "upgraded" : "6070099" > } > } > } > } > } ---

Hi, I have the same issue. In my case I installed elastic 6.7 on windows 10 using msi installer. The elastics version still remains 6.6 after machine restart - so ...this did not solve anything. Kibana 6.6 works...6.7 does not with the error above. I deleted .kibana index but 6.7 does not create a new index. The 6.6 version works fine. Hope someone has a solution. Titus ---

Restart of the server wasn't needed on my other server but I still had to restart the elasticsearch service. I guess server restart will do the same Hope you resolve your problem titus ---

No luck with restarting the server or the service 🙂 (several times). I am still seeing elastic 6.6 and Kibana 6.7 does not work. What is interesting is that the elastic memory size changed 😁...although the version is still the old one. I guess someone forgot some hard-coded version somewhere in the code 🤩 ---

And I forgot about another funny thing:) Since kibana 6.7 does not work...I am using kibana 6.6. Aparently in 6.7 "string" type does not exist anymore:))...only "text" type so ...we are unable to make any decent visualizations and so on since..."text" cannot be interpreted in 6.6 ---

Thanks all for the info - let me try to reproduce. First let me get some information on the env running- so this is happening on 6.6.0-1 or 6.7 on Windows using the msi installer? Sounds like 6.6.2 is not seeing the issue? Are you using the oss or default distro? Are you behind any proxy? I tried 6.6.1 tar file on mac os yesterday and it worked fine. Any other info to help me reproduce would be great, thanks ! ---

> [@LizaD](#): > > Any other info to help me reproduce would be great, thanks ! os: Win 10 had: Elasticsearch 6.6.0 - used msi to upgrade to 6.7 (used msi to install 6.6 before) With Kibana the same: I had 6.6.0 and downloaded 6.7 but no luck starting it because of[illegal\_argument\_exception] request (like above). I checked the Elastic installed version and instead of 6.7 it was 6.6. What i noticed when installing 6.6.2 was that the folders for 6.7 were not created(it overwritten the data in 6.6 i guess) In kibana yaml i have only the elastichost address and the ip for the outside visibility. Nothing else special. Kibana 6.6 was able to start over elastic 6.7 but i could not create filter in visualizations for any text data. Only numerical data was available for aggregating. Restated the machine several times - the elastic version did not change from 6.6. Reinstalled 6.7 using msi but no luck so after that i got back to 6.6.2 and everything works fine. Maybe is good to mention that at a certain point in time I had 7.0 beta version installed. ---
