@stefws is this the same problem you reported on [Fails to launch Kibana 6 with ES tribe url after upgrading from 5](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/fails-to-launch-kibana-6-with-es-tribe-url-after-upgrading-from-5/189204/4) ?

Could you share your kibana config, the elasticsearch version you are using, the kibana logs and what are the kibana indexes your elasticsearch instance has ?

Cheers
