Hello Team,

We just upgrade our ELK stack version from 6.8 to 7.10.1. We are using 3 node elasticsaerch cluster and cluster is up and running. We upgraded our kibana also from 6.8 to 7.10.1 and its also running we are able to access kibana dashboard and we can see the logs on kibana dashboard.

But now we are trying to install `logtrail plugin` but we are facing issue.

Below are the error logs:

```auto
# ./kibana-plugin install https://github.com/sivasamyk/logtrail/releases/download/v0.1.31/logtrail-7.9.2-0.1.31.zip --allow-root

fs.js:114
    throw err;
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml'

```

We have downloaded and checked the `plugin zip` file using `unzip`and its not empty. We also unable to check the `kibana version` also using the command line but kibana service is running fine.

We are attaching the kibana dashboard screenshot of `stack monitoring` where we can see kibana and elasticsaerch are running fine.

Can you please help me in installing the `logtrail plugin`?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank You

Hello,

The creator of the plugin has to update the plugin to the new platform, since plugins using the old architecture have been disabled since 7.10.0.

You can only use that plugin on 7.9.x versions of the stack.

@Marius_Dragomir, Thank You for your response.

Yes..Currently logtrail is not compatible with Kibana 7.10.

@warkolm, Yes..this feaure is available in Kiabna from version 6.8 and very similar to logtrail and we are using this.

But we are unable to check the kibana version its throwing errror:

```auto
root@elk-ams3:/usr/share/kibana/bin# ./kibana --version
fs.js:114
    throw err;
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml'

```

Thank You

It'd be worth creating a new thread for that question if you haven't already.
