Cannot reach Kibana on browser after installation

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello guys.

I am not a linux guru - just know how to do simple stuff. But I got a task to setup ELK.
I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2

What I did so far:

  1. Installed Elastisearch, Logstash and Kibana (2.1.0)
  2. Installed Marvel plugin for Elasticsearch and Kibana
  3. Changed network.host to 10.10.10.10 (lets assume this is IP address of the host where I installed it) in elasticsearh.yml.
    I had to change it from **localhost **as otherwise I could not reach it on the browser from my local machine. I use SSH to connect to the host.
  4. I uncommented and changed this variables in kibana.yml:
    server.port: 5601
    server.host: "10.10.10.10"
    elasticsearch.url: "http://10.10.10.10:9200"
    I tried to run it with defualt settings first, but it did not work.

What I have in the end:

{
"name" : "Fasaud",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"version" : {
"number" : "2.1.0",
"build_hash" : "72cd1f1a3eee09505e036106146dc1949dc5dc87",
"build_timestamp" : "2015-11-18T22:40:03Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "5.3.1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Both services run on the same 10.10.10.10 host:

Guys, basing on this information, do you have any suggestions why I am able to reach elastisearch from my machine, but in the same time kibana returns me a timeout?
What can I check in this case?

Thanks.

Can it be due to the fact taht nginx is not installed/running?

[ ~]$ service nginx start
nginx: unrecognized service

From the guide:

Because we configured Kibana to listen on localhost, we must set up a reverse proxy to allow external access to it. We will use Nginx for this purpose

But because I changed localhost to host's ip-address do I still need to use nginx?

What guide?

"Helpful community" they said to me :slight_smile:

Not sure what you are implying there, but given you are referring to things we have no idea about and we are not mind readers, I am not sure what you expect us to do?

Sorry then. What extra information needs to be added to make it more clear?
I am trying to test ELK solution.

What browser did you use?

Guys, I have just tried it one more time - and it works.
It has not been working for me for the previous few days. Can't explain it.

guys,

I have got a similar issue as well, can't reach kibana 4.5 via browser (Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit)) however I am able to curl -XGET localhost:9200

would there be an issue especially I am trying to access it from local test network which everything is behind the firewall!

Thanks,
