## Version compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers (💚 in the table below). If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer _major_ number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run (🚫). If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning (⚠️).
