Sonarqube utilizes elasticsearch internally, and I have verified that the cluster is running by executing a curl.

Upon connecting the internal cluster to kibana this message appears

FYI  
elasticsearch and kibana is running on the same machine on AWS.

It looks like Sonarqube is running the OSS distribution of the Elastic stack, while your Kibana instance is using the default distribution.

These two distributions are not compatible, that's why the error message is showing up. You can download the OSS distribution of Kibana here: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#kibana-oss](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#kibana-oss)

Also make sure the versions are matching.
