## Summary We at least want to do our best to retain n-1 version compatible with exports and then best effort for n-2 or more. During testing I saw that we changed our export contract and I was getting these errors importing from 7.15 into 7.16: <img width="814" alt="Screen Shot 2021-10-20 at 8 25 07 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1151048/138202992-c6e016e6-388c-4597-b302-b13d7126e705.png"> The reason is because it thinks the final "summary line" which has `exported_count` instead of `exported_rules_count` will think that is a rule based ndjson line and not exclude it. This was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/115144 I was under the impression that was adding more information and not subtracting information when I did the PR review. I almost think that we should keep the `exported_count` in addition to the new lines that are added so the user has a total count of everything exported. This PR doesn't do that, it just fixes the backwards compatibility to not have errors. If we ship like this the other rules from 7.15 and previous will still import but users will see error messages like that one above which they should never see. However, really, we should be careful about changes that are not just additive with formats. ### Checklist No this PR currently does not have tests for backwards compatibility but I think we should add it either here or a follow up. - [ ] [Unit or functional tests](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-tests.html) were updated or added to match the most common scenarios |

Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. 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.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
---|---|---|---|
Versions are the same. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.2 | 💚 OK |
ES patch number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.5 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES minor number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.5.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES major number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 6.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
ES patch number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES minor number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
ES major number is older. | 5.1.2 | 4.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
