To use the full set of free features in this distribution of Kibana, please update Elasticsearch to the default distribution

Hi,
from what i understand it seems i have the OSS version of elasticsearch installed, but not the OSS version of Kibana. So i need now this "default distribution".
Where do i get it ?
And now trying to connect to Kibana i get the message "{"statusCode":503,"error":"Service Unavailable","message":"License is not available."}". Is that the same problem ?

Thanks.

Bernd

What is the version you are using?

I mean that when using 8.12, it's not anymore a concern as there is only one version.

8.11.3
So the best would be to upgrade ?
It's currently just a test system, so upgrade is possible. But then i also need to update Kibana and the beats to the same version, correct ?

Bernd

8.11.3 is fine. It's super recent so that's good.
You can indeed update to 8.12.1 that has been released but not mandatory in that case.

So if you are running Elasticsearch 8.11.3 and Kibana 8.11.3, you are all set by default.

But where do i find this "default distribution" ? It seems i have only installed the OSS version from elasticsearch, which stopped working.
I have everywhere (elastic, kibana, beat) 8.11.3.
But doesn't solve the problem.

Bernd

There's no other distribution than this one.

To move forward, please share what you did exactly.
The easiest way IMO is by using docker compose but may be you are doing something else.

Hi,
but the error said: "... please update Elasticsearch to the default distribution"
So it seems that i don't have installed this default distribution but need it.
So my question is where can i find it.
I'm running elasticsearch and kibana both on one virtual machine, not in a container.

I just want to be able to continue working with elasticsearch.
I got this error "To use the full set of free features in this distribution of Kibana, please update Elasticsearch to the default distribution" when i tried to login to kibana. Now i rebooted the vm and i'm able to login.
Strange. Can you explain that ?

Bernd

What i did ?
Nothing. I just tried to login in the Kibana Webinterface and got this error.

If there is no other distribution why do i get this error ?

Bernd

What did you download?
How did you start it?
What are the logs?
