Hi Brian, After internal Elasticsearch consulting for three years at Symantec, I recently started a sole proprietorship to be an independent Elasticsearch consulting architect. I'd love to help your team with ... - Product Development with Elasticsearch - Site-Reliability Engineering for Elasticsearch - Elasticsearch Ecosystem - Good choices for your Use Cases Best wishes.....Geena [leapfire.com](http://leapfire.com) in/rollins ---

For the time, I gave up on configuring our local service and have attempted to start a trial of ElasticCloud. I still am not able to get past provisioning a cluster. When I attempt to click on my Elastic endpoint or my Kibana endpoint after following video tutorials I am confronted by a login process. None of the credentials I set up yet work at all. It is also not clear where to set up a new user name. When you go into Kibana configuration and reset the password it does so, and shows the password, but nowhere does it display the proper username to use. I could begin by reading the documentation from top to bottom, but it is curious that the tutorials should skip this crucial info. ---

Hi, our firm OpenSource Connections ([http://opensourceconnections.com](http://opensourceconnections.com)) has done open source search consulting (Solr then Elasticsearch) for 10 years. Don't hesitate to reach out to me via [dturnbull@opensourceconnections.com](mailto:dturnbull@opensourceconnections.com) Other firms I might recommend include Flax ([http://flax.co.uk](http://flax.co.uk)) and Sematext ([http://sematext.com](http://sematext.com)). Both firms have been around about as long, and each of us has slightly different competencies. I actually have a Solr/ES consulting buying guide you might find useful, shoot me an email and I'll send it to you. Best -Doug ---

Hi Brian, The username is the email that you would have signed-up with when you first joined (see screenshot below): ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/c59fcb01cce76bb81689b054fe1fd7e86ac25947.png) Does that work with your password? Kind regards, Paul Coghlan ---

Actually, it isn't that. It is simply "Elastic", and for Kibana it is "Kibana". ---

Ah - apologies - I mis-read your question. So are you able to login to both Elastic and Kibana now? ---

Brian, you've identified a common problem. There is so much documentation that applies to so many different use cases, it is hard to know what the best approaches are for your particular use case. I like helping clients to accelerate up the learning curve and become self sufficient. As for experience, Elasticsearch 1.0 came out in February 2014, so we all have about 3 years of experience. I've been a search engineer for about 18 years using various technologies. Leapfire distinguishes itself in several ways. I do not need a big contract; I am satisfied with an engagement as short as 4 hours. You always work with the principal. I have a closer relationship with Elastic than any of the big consulting firms. I formulated my business plan through discussions with Elastic sales reps. Leapfire and Elastic have no points of competition and we are fully complementary. Elastic asks [“How did Geena become so knowledgeable of Elasticsearch?”](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-support-an-investment-that-keeps-paying-off-at-symantec) If you would like to explore running Elasticsearch with your own operations staff, let me know. I've setup more than a dozen clusters over the years for 1.x, 2.x, and 5.x. And I'll train them for Elasticsearch Site Reliability. ...Geena _"My heart is in the work."_ -- Andrew Carnegie ---
