Can't open Kibana page in my web browser

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I am not able to open Kibana page in my web browser.
I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Elastic + Kibana installed on the same machine:
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"
VERSION_ID="16.04"

Earlier I was able to see Kibana page in my browser but there are some issues with plugins that tried to fix.
So I checked the status of elastic and it was running,

I checked the logstash status and it was down so I started it and after it, I started Kibana

Now I am not able to load Kibana page on my Browser.

Could you please help me resolve it?

}

what is log message for kibana?

/var/log/kibana/kibana.log is default location.

3

There are logs only for elasticsearch in /var/log

4

maybe I have to add or enable it via kibana.yml file?

5

grep logging.dest /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
logging.dest: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log

add this line. create /var/log/kibana dir and restart kibana

6

in my kibana.yml:

Enables you specify a file where Kibana stores log output.

logging.dest: stdout

Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output.

logging.silent: false

Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output other than error messages.

logging.quiet: false

Set the value of this setting to true to log all events, including system usage information

and all requests.

logging.verbose: true

logging.dest: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log

I created kibana directory in /var/log (sudo mkdir kibana) and restarted kibana ( sudo service kibana restart)

but kibana.log not created

7

that is weired. it should create a file. try creating file manually

touch /var/log/kibana/kibana.log

created manually the kibana.log and restarted kibana.

it's running for number a seconds and after it fails

10

kibana.log still empty

11

can you check which version of elk you running.
rpm -qa |grep kibana etc...

12

how do I need to set chown... for kibana.log?

13

rpm not installed

14

oh it is different flavor of linux may be dpkg -l |grep kibana

chown kibana:kibana to change ownership of file

are you running kibana as root or as user?

dpkg -l |grep kibana
ii kibana 5.6.2 amd64 Explore and visualize your Elasticsearch data

17

you running very old version of kibana and ELK is on 7.5.1 now.

is this production? if just test upgrade it.

18

if you don't want to upgrade it then you will have to find a way to start logging and then you will be able to figure out where it is stuck
