For information about building the documentation, see the README in [elastic/docs](https://github.com/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. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.1 | 💚 OK | | ES patch number is newer. | 7.15.__0__ | 7.15.__1__ | ⚠️ Logged warning | | ES minor number is newer. | 7.__14__.2 | 7.__15__.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning | | ES major number is newer. | __7__.15.1 | __8__.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error | | ES patch number is older. | 7.15.__1__ | 7.15.__0__ | ⚠️ Logged warning | | ES minor number is older. | 7.__15__.1 | 7.__14__.2 | 🚫 Fatal error | | ES major number is older. | __8__.0.0 | __7__.15.1 | 🚫 Fatal error | ## Questions?
