I've installed Kibana, Logstash and Elasticsearch using this [tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04). I can see all my logs from another server in Kibana right now (using Filebeat), so that's fine. When I go to the Visualize tab, two error messages appear: - Saved Visualization Service: Visualization type of "metrics" is invalid. Please change to a valid type. - Saved Visualization Service: Visualization type of "timelion" is invalid. Please change to a valid type. I'm not sure if the tutorial is outdated or I did something stupid, but I'm unable to figure out what's going wrong right now. How can I fix this problem? ---

Hi Stephan. That DO tutorial is using a pretty old version of our stack. It looks like it's out of date. It sounds like you're trying to create visualizations that exist in a more recent version of Kibana. You might want to try following our official getting started documents, which can be found here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html) Good luck! ---
