Can't load kibana on 5601

babeesh · February 16, 2016, 12:55pm

I have installed Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Nginx following this guide,

Elasticsearch is running on 9200
curl http://localhost:9200 gives the correct configuration.

But curl http://localhost:5601 gives

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5601: Connection refused

In kibana.yml file I put

server.port: 5601
server.host: "127.0.0.1" Here I also checked with localhost and aws private ip address.

And while checking the port I am getting

netstat -anp | grep 5601

(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.)

I can start kibana using sudo service kibana start

But while checking status using sudo service kibana status

kibana is not running

I haven't setup firewall . sudo ufw status

Status : Inactive

I am confused, why kibana port is not listening. Please help me to solve this.

What version of KB did you install?

babeesh · February 17, 2016, 3:43am

Ubuntu 14.04
Elasticsearch 2.2.x, Logstash 2.2.x, and Kibana 4.4.x

Based on the article it looks like it assumes Nginx is used as a proxy in front of Kibana, listening to port 80. Can you connect to port 80?

Yes I can connect to Port 80.

Do you mind to post the result of :

ps -ef | grep kibana
Content of your kibana.yml

1. ubuntu 2686 1415 0 07:40 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kibana

2. server.host: "172.30.0.28:5601"

Its running now.
When I checked kibana log (vi /var/log/kibana/kibana.stderr)

Error: EACCES, permission denied '/opt/kibana/optimize/.babelcache.json'

So I changed permission of .babelcache.json
sudo chown -R kibana:root /opt/kibana/optimize/.babelcache.json

Then restarted kibana , Solved the issue.

Hi, I am in the same situation. Kibana worked for me, then after some time while playing with indexes it started to behave strangely, finally after a reboot it refuses connection to port 5601

I tried to uninstall, deleted all /opt/kibana files, reinstalled latest version, nothing is working

I even cannot access any log, I created a log file for kibana and set it into kibana.yml but it is always zero sized.

The service starts after an initial failure but connection to the port is denied.

I searched for an answer for 7 hours. I found that that in the kibana.yml file, if you change port: 5601 to server.port: 5601, I can connect to the server and port with curl. I have another error message and Kibana is not showing me Elasticsearch yet, but that is progress. And then after rebooting it would not start. However, changing it back to port: 5601 and restarting Kibana caused it to work again.
