Kibana issue connecting to ElasticSearch

Good day:

I've installed ElasticSearch (on Azure) and I"m trying to get my Kibana (local instance) connecting to my remote elastic instance however, I"m getting the following issue:

 [06:26:19.214] [warning][license][xpack] License information from the X-Pack plugin could not be obtained from Elasticsearch for the [data] cluster. [invalid_index_name_exception] Invalid index name [_xpack], must not start with '_'., with { index_uuid="_na_" & index="_xpack" } :: {"path":"/_xpack","statusCode":400,"response":"{\"error\":{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"invalid_index_name_exception\",\"reason\":\"Invalid index name [_xpack], must not start with '_'.\",\"index_uuid\":\"_na_\",\"index\":\"_xpack\"}],\"type\":\"invalid_index_name_exception\",\"reason\":\"Invalid index name [_xpack], must not start with '_'.\",\"index_uuid\":\"_na_\",\"index\":\"_xpack\"},\"status\":400}"}

Thoughts?

It looks like XPack is not installed on your ES server, while it is on your local Kibana instance.

You can either install XPack on ES

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack

or remove it from Kibana

bin/kibana-plugin remove x-pack
