Hi -- Please pardon me if this is a newbie error, but I am trying to set up Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana on a Red Hat Linux 6.x system. I am using the RPM repositories and I tried to follow the instructions on these pages: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/package-repositories.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/package-repositories.html) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.5/setup.html#setup-repositories](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.5/setup.html#setup-repositories) After successfully setting up the yum repos and installing all three components (apparently without error) and starting things up, I go the the Kibana URL ([http://localhost:5601/app/kibana](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana)) and I get a status display where everything looks OK _except_ that under "Installed Plugins" \> plugin:elasticsearch, it says: This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch ^2.3.0 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch v2.2.1 @ 127.0.0.1:9200 (127.0.0.1) I'm struggling to understand what to do about this. Can anyone advise? My intuition is that I need a newer version of Elasticsearch (2.3), but I can't see how to specify that in my repo definitions since it looks like the same repo definition is used for all 2.x versions. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Elasticsearch but that had no effect (which I expected, since I hadn't changed anything in the repo defintions). ---

What does `rpm -qa|grep elasticsearch` show? ---

It shows: elasticsearch-2.2.1-1.noarch ...confirming that the error message from Kibana is correct -- the version of Elasticsearch is in fact the older one (2.2.1) which it (Kibana) does _NOT_ want. ...so, this leaves us with the question: how do I get yum to install the newer elasticsearch version (2.3, which Kibana _does_ want)? ---

Try a `yum update` then `yum upgrade`? ---

(As you English would say): BRILLIANT!! That fixed it. When I did the 'yum update' it uninstalled elasticsearch 2.2.1 and installed 2.3.1.1. I retried the Kibana UI but it still showed the error, but I figured that was probably because something needed to be restarted. Rather than fiddle with it I just restarted the machine, and now it's fine. Visiting the Kibana start page I do not see the error, and 'rpm -qa | grep elasticsearch' shows the expected version (2.3). Thanks! Any idea _why_ this happened? I know this is probably a Red Hat Linux maintenance thing and not an Elasticsearch thing as such, but I would appreciate it if someone could educate me so I won't stumble in the same way the next time I try to do something like this... System maintenance is still a bit a mystery to me on Red Hat; I'm pretty good with the procedures on debian/Ubuntu but Red Hat kind-of throws me. Thanks again! ---
