Hello,

I have discovered the option that connects Kibana and workplace, but I do not how to configure it.

I added this line enterpriseSearch.host: '[http://localhost:3002](http://localhost:3002)' in the kibana´s YAML like this link says but it shows an error. [http://localhost:5601/app/enterprise\_search/workplace\_search/setup\_guide](http://localhost:5601/app/enterprise_search/workplace_search/setup_guide)  
(I know that it is working in my localhost address)

Thank you very much

Hi @JorgeL-TI, thanks for trying out Workplace Search!

I'd be happy to try to help. Can you answer the following:

- what version of Elasticsearch are you using?
- what version of Kibana are you using?
- what version of Enterprise Search are you using?
- what is the error you are getting?
- which log file/UI is the error coming from?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi,  
Sorry for the time I lasted in answer

The version that I am using is 7.9.3 (The newest one)

the problem was how to connect both programs because it shows a quite screen saying that I do not configure the YAML.

It was just a test to know how it is working.

Thank you very much

Hi @JorgeL-TI,

Thanks, that's great.

> the problem was how to connect both programs because it shows a quite screen saying that I do not configure the YAML.

Can you share the exact error please? And can you share the YAML that's responsible for the error?

I've double checked that this all works locally with 7.9.3. The three key pieces are:

1. `kibana*/config/kibana.yml` must have: `enterpriseSearch.host: 'http://localhost:3002'`
2. `enterprise-search*/config/enterprise-search.yml` must have: `ent_search.auth.source: elasticsearch-native` OR have SAML configured as the auth source (Native is easier, for just testing this out)
3. Enterprise Search and Kibana must both be installed an running on the same server/laptop/computer (if you're using `localhost`)

If you have all 3 of those and are still having an issue, please share you configs and any relevant logs and/or error messages, and we'll get you sorted out. 🙂

Hi,

I was able to watch the elastic workplace using kibana

The problem was that I wrote

```auto
ent_search.auth.source: standard in the enterprise_search.yml

```

so thank you very much again.
