I upgraded the ELK cluster on a rolling basis according to the documentation (7.4.2 to 7.12.0), and I only have three master/node nodes.  
I rolled each es node in turn, and then reinstalled the new version of kibana. An error occurred when kibana was started.

> **[Rolling upgrades | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.12/rolling-upgrades.html)**

I suspect that a certain step is missing, but it is not mentioned in the document.

I turned off the login authentication of xpack, and I can get information from curl, but I want to know the official recommended steps.

Now kibana has been waiting for objects migrations, but I don’t know how long it will take.

According to the information I found, I got some information, but my data value is very small.

Finally, I delete all kibana indexes and restart kibana. After that, the cluster returns to normal.

But I doubt that this operation will lose some data. I hope the elastic team can give a best practice.

it's possible something is going wrong during the migration if there are corrupted saved objects (this can happen for a bunch of reasons). Please stop Kibana, delete the `.kibana_2` index again, restart Kibana and check the logs for error messages. It's likely there are some related to "migration" - please copy/paste them here. [Upgrade migrations | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/upgrade-migrations.html#upgrade-migrations-process) To prevent migrations from failing again make sure you read the section on "preventing migration failures" before you retry the migration.  
Hope it helps,  
Thanks  
Rashmi

@rashmi

Hello, rashmi.  
I deleted .kibana and .kibana\_task\_manager, and now I can successfully access the kibana. but what I am really worried about is whether I will lose any data? such as "visualization and dashboard".

In addition, I am more concerned about why there are data conflicts in the upgrade from 7.X to 7.X? This is not a cross-version upgrade.  
I thought the version of the update is very safe thing.
