I am able to access the initial page of my `kibana` instance.

After however providing username and password, I see this in my web browser page

```auto
{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"illegal_state_exception"}

```

```auto

Error in `elasticsearch` logs

```

`Elasticsearch` (`7.12.1`) and `Kibana` (`7.12.1`) are deployed using ECK but not sure if this is related.

Duplicate error might mean you have the same parameter or setting configured twice. Maybe adding a field that already existed in the configuration files you changed.
