I have 4 nodes cluster in elasticsearch ie. 2 master only nodes and 2 data only nodes and all nodes are installed in google cloud instance machine type is **g1-small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GB memory)** for all four nodes, now i have some question 1. can i install kibana in same node/machine just say node-1 i.e master only node ? 2. Is it really important to install java for elasticsearch ? because i didn't install java for any node but they still connected. **NOTE:** however i tried to install kibana in the same machine/node-1( master only node) but it makes system very slow, even hitting any command is became hard for me. Thanks. ---

1. In general those are pretty small nodes / specs and I would definitely not recommend installing Kibana on the master node. How did you arrive at those node sizes? 2. Elasticsearch comes with Open JDK bundled see [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html#jvm-version) ---

Thanks for replying. Well i am testing with elasticsearch and kibana that's why i choose small node size, so can you recommend what can i do with kibana should i create new machine/instance for kibana ? ---

Yes I would put it on its own gcp instance and configure Kibana to point at the 2 data nodes using `elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://datanode1ip:9200" , "http://datanode2ip:9200"]` See [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) ---
