Hey guys, we are running 7.8 Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash. We were able to set up our stack and everything was working fine. A week later and we started getting the "Kibana server is not ready yet" when we would go to the webpage. We have uninstalled and reinstalled Kibana and Elasticsearch with rpm attempting to reconfigure it all, but cannot get past this error. Any insight into this problem would be amazing, thanks!

@pzachry
Do you see any errors in the kibana logs? Elasticsearch logs might also be helpful.
Thanks,
Matt

@pzachry
It sounds like either there's another process using that port or there's an problem with the method being used to start kibana.
