I am trying to create visualization using curl command. I am using elasticsearch 6.2.3. I am able to create the same in elasticsearch 5.6.8. I am using this command curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualization/vis1](http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualization/vis1) -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @vis1.json It is showing this error :  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [visualization, doc]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [visualization, doc]"},"status":400}

Contents of vis1.json:

```
{
  "title": "vis1",
  "visState": "{\"title\":\"vis1\",\"type\":\"table\",\"params\":{\"perPage\":10,\"showMeticsAtAllLevels\":false,\"showPartialRows\":false,\"showTotal\":false,\"sort\":{\"columnIndex\":null,\"direction\":null},\"totalFunc\":\"sum\"},\"aggs\":[{\"id\":\"1\",\"enabled\":true,\"type\":\"count\",\"schema\":\"metric\",\"params\":{}},{\"id\":\"2\",\"enabled\":true,\"type\":\"date_histogram\",\"schema\":\"split\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"UsageEndDate\",\"interval\":\"M\",\"customInterval\":\"2h\",\"min_doc_count\":1,\"extended_bounds\":{},\"row\":false}},{\"id\":\"3\",\"enabled\":true,\"type\":\"terms\",\"schema\":\"bucket\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"ProductName.keyword\",\"otherBucket\":false,\"otherBucketLabel\":\"Other\",\"missingBucket\":false,\"missingBucketLabel\":\"Missing\",\"size\":5,\"order\":\"desc\",\"orderBy\":\"1\"}}]}",
  "uiStateJSON": "{\"vis\":{\"params\":{\"sort\":{\"columnIndex\":null,\"direction\":null}}}}",
  "description": "",
  "version": 1,
  "kibanaSavedObjectMeta": {
    "searchSourceJSON": "{\"index\":\"4eb9f840-3969-11e8-ae19-552e148747c3\",\"filter\":[],\"query\":{\"language\":\"lucene\",\"query\":\"\"}}"
  }
}

```

This is working fine in elasticearch 5.6.8 but not in 6.2.3.

Thanks in Advance.
