As of Kibana 6.3.0, X-Pack is bundled by default in the default distribution. Existing X-Pack users should remove the plugin before upgrading.
There is a known issue preventing
bin/kibana-plugin
from removing the pre-existing plugin after upgrading. This will be resolved in 6.3.1. If you happen to encounter this issue, there are a few options:-
Uninstall the plugin before upgrading:
bin/kibana-plugin remove x-pack
-
Uninstall the plugin after upgrading: Manually delete the
plugins/x-pack
directory.

Renames saved objects bulk_get and find endpoints #17512
To support sending larger and more expressive queries to the Saved Objects find API, we added a POST endpoint for find and therefore needed a way to disambiguate the find API from from the POST API used to create Saved Objects.
Starting in Kibana 6.3, endpoints that are not simple CRUD operations on a single object will be named and their name will start with an underscore. For example, Elasticsearch
GET /api/saved_objects
is nowGET /api/saved_objects/_find
,GET /api/saved_objects/{type}
is nowGET /api/saved_objects/_find?type={type}
, andGET /api/saved_objects/bulk_get
is nowGET /api/saved_objects/_bulk_get
.
