503 error because of request timeout after 30000ms

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello Everyone,
I am new to ELK stack, I am trying to install elasticsearch and kibana using containers, and can't get kibana to work.

docker run -d --pod elk -e ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=http://localhost:9200 --name kibana docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.2
docker run -d --pod elk --name elasticsearch --ulimit=host -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2
  • I made sure ES is reachable from the kibana (and from the outside)
    curl "http://localhost:9200"
    gives
    {
      "name" : "elk",
      "cluster_name" : "docker-cluster",
      "cluster_uuid" : "YmAj-PyDQQKE5ikqo0BZQw",

      },
      "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
    }

and curl -XGET localhost:9200/_cluster/allocation/explain?pretty

    {

            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

The logs give me this:

I tried to connect to ES using python and it works fine.

Hi @hamidZa,

Welcome to our community! I was looking at your errors and seems like it is similar to this post: Kibana monitoring page timeout, do you think there might be license issue? Are you able to launch Kibana at all?

Thanks,
Liza

Yes Maybe it is a license issue, I switched to kibana OSS and it works perfectly.

I tried to use the Trial and the Basic license but I didn't get it yo work, is there a guiide on how to use the licenses in dockeer ?

Hi @hamidZa,

Here is our getting started guide:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/current/get-started-docker.html

The basic license is default, so this guide shows how to setup trial one.

Hope this helps.
