I'm trying to install Kibana on my local Windows machine and have been following these instructions [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana). Elasticsearch is already installed and running without any problems. However, during the installation of Kibana I get an error message [illegal\_argument\_exception] request [/.reporting-\*/\_search] contains unrecognized parameter: [rest\_total\_hits\_as\_int].... (see screenshot below) and nothing else happens. About once every 2 min. the error message repeats itself and it has now for the past three hours. I know it can see Elasticsearch because if I stop it I get a connection error in the Kibana installation.
[http://localhost:5601/](http://localhost:5601/) shows the following:

Your Elasticsearch instance is 6.5.4, so you should upgrade this to 6.6.0. What is the output of `http://localhost:9200`?

How was this instance of Elasticsearch installed given that `build_flavor` and `build_type` are `unknown`?

I followed the instructions on this site [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html)
But it was the command line option and it was not installed as a Service so I have to start it manually from command line.

I seem to have fixed this by downgrading my Kibana to 6.5.4 to match my Elasticsearch version. (I'm not able to upgrade my Elasticsearch because of other dependicies). However, it is a bit embarrassing that Elasticsearch and Kibana are so strongly coupled together that you can't have 0.1 of a version differance between them I think. Thank you for your help Christian 🙂
