Kibana gives error as "Unable to load connector" as and when Connector feature is accessed. Enabled the debug logs also, it doesn't give much information. Only log entry as "[2025-03-09T13:35:00.161+04:00][ERROR][http] 500 Server Error"

Hi @premk,

Welcome! Which specific connector are you using in your install? Can you also confirm which version of Elasticsearch you are using?

It appears there is an issue with one of the connectors, so it might be worth having a look at the [common issues](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/es-connectors-known-issues.html) and also the specific documentation for the connector you are using [listed in this table](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/es-connectors.html) to see if there are any common settings.

Hope that helps!

I had the same problem with STACK\_VERSION=8.17.1

The problem seems fixed in 8.18.0
