# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
node.name: elasticsearch
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# By default Elasticsearch is only accessible on localhost. Set a different
# address here to expose this node on the network:
#
network.host: 192.168.1.87
#
# By default Elasticsearch listens for HTTP traffic on the first free port it
# finds starting at 9200. Set a specific HTTP port here:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
#discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
#
# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Allow wildcard deletion of indices:
#
#action.destructive_requires_name: false
#----------------------- BEGIN SECURITY AUTO CONFIGURATION -----------------------
#
# The following settings, TLS certificates, and keys have been automatically
# generated to configure Elasticsearch security features on 18-07-2023 01:08:21
# Enable security features

Sorry should Asked what version of the stack and are Kibana and Elasticsearch on the same server or different?
I'm using Elasticsearch v 8.8 and kibana v 8.8 on the same server.
Hmm weird I did have seen that before
and that is after you paste the enrollment token in?
Which type of install tar.gz or .deb .rpm?
Have you just tried uninstalling and starting over? Kibana or Both
You can create a new enrollment token if you like....
Ok, I will try uninstalling and start again. How to uninstall the whole package even the saved files. When I try to uninstall and reinstall again I usually see some files existed and not removed. Like repo files
How did you install what method?
But clean up everything ...
Sorry, I used .rpm method
Google is your friend 
Looks like -e
And you can check the directory structure and make sure it is clean ... same for kibana
Thank you for the guidance. I tried reinstalling again but still I'm getting same error. Couldn't configure elastic not even manually or with elastic token
So you do not configure elastic with a token... the token is for kibana
When you say manually can you show what you mean?
Are you following our docs or some other guide?
So I think at this point you need to share the kibana logs
should be in
/var/log/kibana/kibana.log
can up curl elastic
curl -k -v -u elastic https://192.168.1.87:9200

I did configure with elastictoken for kibana
I'm following your docs and some other guide for some queries.
I'm attaching image how I configure manually
Apologies you are only providing partial information ....
Please show the command and the output
Then you need to use the new IP in the elasticsearch.yml and curl!
If you are following any other docs than ours it will probably lead you wrong.
If you clean everything and change NOTHING and follow our docs it should work.
The screen show does not show anything ...
If
change in elasticsearch.yml
network.host: 192.168.1.87
to
network.host: 0.0.0.0
Hi,
As per your instructions, I cleaned everything and didn't change anything and followed only your docs now. I can access Elasticsearch and kibana but I can't configure elastic to kibana.

So generate a new one per the instructions....

OK that is an issue Kibana can not reach elasticsearch, is elasticsearch actually running?
systemctl status elasticsearch
What happens if you run?
curl -k -v -u elastic https://localhost:9200
and try
curl -k -v -u elastic https://10.0.2.15:9200
This should check connectivity to elasticsearch
