How do you fix the error below during the configuration of the Metrics Database?

This error is displayed when the monitoring cluster is running on a version below 7.1.8. Prior to this version, Historical Monitoring relied on Kafka to ingest monitoring events. Starting from version 7.1.8, a native monitoring solution has been implemented using Prometheus. To complete the 'Configure the Metrics Database' step, upgrade your cluster to the latest version.
