I'm having a problem with Kibana 5.4.0. After a restart I have no problems using Kibana with Elasticsearch. But sometimes Kibana crashes (no logging output...) and then I have problems to get it started again. If I start Kibana, I'll get the error message that I need the elasticsearch plugin. > ./bin/kibana . > log [09:53:38.910] [info][listening] Server running at [http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601) > log [09:53:38.915] [error][status][ui settings] Status changed from uninitialized to red - UI Settings requires the elasticsearch plugin What is this plugin and why does it work the first time after reboot without anything? I'm using Red Hat 7.2, and Kibana 5.4.0 and Elasticsearch 5.4.0. Since I'm not the owner of the server it's hard to get it restarted so I need a solution for that problem. I did not find anything useful via web search. Thank you and regards ---

> What is this plugin and why does it work the first time after reboot without anything? It's just elasticsearch. If I try to run Kibana without elasticsearch running, I'll get: ` [error][status][ui settings] Status changed from uninitialized to red - Elasticsearch plugin is red`. Though your error message is not exactly the same, so it may be a different problem you are running into. Do you have any error output for elasticsearch? Sometimes it takes a bit longer for elasticsearch to start up than Kibana, so I may get error messages like this: ```auto log [13:12:39.911] [info][listening] Server running at http://localhost:5601 log [13:12:39.912] [error][status][ui settings] Status changed from uninitialized to red - Elasticsearch plugin is red log [13:12:42.252] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: http://localhost:9200/ log [13:12:42.255] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] No living connections log [13:12:44.765] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: http://localhost:9200/ log [13:12:44.766] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] No living connections .... log [13:13:17.370] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: http://localhost:9200/ log [13:13:17.371] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] No living connections log [13:13:19.879] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: http://localhost:9200/ log [13:13:19.879] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] No living connections log [13:13:22.644] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.4.0] Status changed from red to green - Kibana index ready log [13:13:22.645] [info][status][ui settings] Status changed from red to green - Ready ``` Can you turn on verbose logging by adding this line to your `kibana.yml` file: `logging.verbose: true`? ---
