Access Kibana
editAccess Kibana
editThe fastest way to access Kibana is to use our hosted Elasticsearch Service. If you installed Kibana on your own, access Kibana through the web application.
Set up on cloud
editThere’s no faster way to get started than with Elastic Cloud:
- Sign up for a free trial.
- Follow the on-screen steps to create your first project.
That’s it! You’re ready to get some data into your project.
Log on to the web application
editIf you are using a self-managed deployment, access Kibana through the web application on port 5601.
-
Point your web browser to the machine where you are running Kibana and specify the port number. For example,
localhost:5601
orhttp://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601
.To remotely connect to Kibana, set server.host to a non-loopback address.
- Log on to your account.
- Go to the home page, then click Kibana.
- To make the Kibana page your landing page, click Make this my landing page.
Check the Kibana status
editThe status page displays information about the server resource usage and installed plugins.
To view the Kibana status page, use the status endpoint. For example, localhost:5601/status
.
For JSON-formatted server status details, use the localhost:5601/api/status
API endpoint.
Troubleshoot Kibana UI error
editTroubleshoot the Kibana Server is not Ready yet
error.
-
From within a Kibana node, confirm the connection to Elasticsearch:
curl -XGET elasticsearch_ip_or_hostname:9200/
-
Guarantee the health of the three Kibana-backing indices. All indices must appear and display
status:green
andstatus:open
:curl -XGET elasticsearch_ip_or_hostname:9200/_cat/indices/.kibana,.kibana_task_manager,.kibana_security_session?v=true
- Shut down all Kibana nodes.
- Choose any Kibana node, then update the config to set the debug logging.
-
Start the node, then check the start-up debug logs for
ERROR
messages or other start-up issues.For example:
-
When Kibana is unable to connect to a healthy Elasticsearch cluster, errors like
master_not_discovered_exception
orunable to revive connection
orlicense is not available
errors appear. -
When one or more Kibana-backing indices are unhealthy, the
index_not_green_timeout
error appears.
-
When Kibana is unable to connect to a healthy Elasticsearch cluster, errors like
