Hi 1. I have deployed Elk stack of 6.6.1 and everything is fine like cluster health and there are no unassigned Shards. Also we have configured visualizations and Dashboards in kibana. 2. Now i am trying to upgrade Elk stack from 6.6.1 to 7.0.1. Upgrade happened Successfully. We are able to see all indices and Data and cluster\_state is green, But visualizations and Dashboards configured in kibana 6.6.1 are not available in the kibana 7.0.1. 3. Can you please let us know what is the problem here. ---

Hi @Varun_S Thanks for your request. May I ask you what step you took to upgrade from 6.6.1. to 7.0.1? The recommendation is to upgrade first to 6.7 that have a feature called Upgrade Assistant that helps you in the migration [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/upgrade.html#\_upgrading\_from\_6\_x](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/upgrade.html#_upgrading_from_6_x) usually visualization/dashboard/saved objects can be easily migrated from 6.x to 7.x. Does the logs report anything about the errors in the migrations of visualization and objects? One last question: are you using any third party plugins in Kibana that saves visualization and other saved objects? ---

HI @markov00, Thanks for your reply. 1. I am deploying ELK Stack in Kubernets Environment via helm. So i used helm upgrade command to upgrade ELK Stack to 7.0.1. 2. I can't use Upgrade Assistant because i am using ELK Stack OSS 3. Once the upgrade is successful, I checked the kibana logs. Actually there should be migration of index from kibana\_1 to kibana\_2, But the logs says that kibana\_1 index is getting created .Because of this Visualizations and Dashboards are getting Deleted. Please find the kibana logs for your reference. Kibana logs:- {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-07-31T11:38:44Z","tags":["info","migrations"],"pid":1,"message":"Creating index .kibana\_1."} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-07-31T11:38:45Z","tags":["info","migrations"],"pid":1,"message":"Pointing alias .kibana to .kibana\_1."} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-07-31T11:38:45Z","tags":["info","migrations"],"pid":1,"message":"Finished in 1439ms."} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-07-31T11:38:45Z","tags":["listening","info"],"pid":1,"message":"Server running at [http://0:5601](http://0:5601)"} Can you please help me here.

Hey @michael.russell do you have any idea there? ---

> I am deploying ELK Stack in Kubernets Environment via helm. So i used helm upgrade command to upgrade ELK Stack to 7.0.1. Which helm chart are you using. Is it [GitHub - elastic/helm-charts: You know, for Kubernetes](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts) or something else? In any case this doesn't appear to be a helm specific issue, more an issue with the upgrade procedure that you have taken. > Now i am trying to upgrade Elk stack from 6.6.1 to 7.0.1. This is not a supported upgrade path. As per the [upgrade docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/setup-upgrade.html) you need to upgrade to 6.7 first. Some other really important steps to take are to test this first in a development environment and make a full cluster snapshot first so that you can restore if the upgrade doesn't work ([Upgrade Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide [7.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/setup-upgrade.html#_preparing_to_upgrade)). I think the next thing you can try is [Troubleshooting saved object migrations | Kibana Guide [7.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/upgrade-migrations.html#upgrade-migrations-rolling-back). If this doesn't work the only option left is to restore from the latest snapshot. ---
