Elasticsearch 4.10.4" with kibanna fail

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

First of all thank you.
I have an ES 4.10.4 running fine.
I had a kibana 4.1.11 running and suddenly it stays in "starting".
After much searching, I opted to try a new kibana on another server.
When putting the address of the ES in the yml and start Kibana from scratch, the same thing happens to me, it does not pass the screen of "initiating"
The kibana log does not display any log, so I think the problem may be in Elasticsearch.

Any ideas?

Thank you !!!

There is no ES 4.10.4. If you access the HTTP endpoint on the server, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9200, the default response should contain the version you are really using.

sorry 1.4.5
the other was lucene version

That is a very old version. I would recommend upgrading.

Is Elasticsearch starting up and working properly? Is there anything in the logs? Do you have any data in the cluster? Is the Kibana index getting created?

Thanks for the help.
I use this version of ES because it goes inside a framework and I do not control the program a lot.
The ES logs do not say anything error or anything. The application works perfectly.
I deleted the .kibana index and rebooted the kibana server, to see if it creates it, but it does not.
The file kibana.yml is by default, I just changed the address of ES.

Does it sound like I can do something?

What does your Kibana config look like? Have you configured the address of the ES server? Can you reach ES from the host Kibana is running on?

Thank you very much for your help sir, I am quite lost and I have done a thousand tests.
I hit you my kibana.yml
And hit the connection to elasticsearch.
Thank you !!!

Please format the config correctly using the available formatting tools. It is very hard to read as it is. There seems to be index information where the Elasticsearch URL is supposed to be. Is this in the actual config?

Are you able to curl the Elasticsearch URL from the host where Kibana is deployed?

Thanks a lot !!!

Both servers are visible to each other.
In fact, Kibana was on the same server as Elastic but it stopped working.
Now I use a separate server

10

Why do you have verify_ssl set to true?

11

By default.
i changed it to false.

No changes. Kibana doesn´t start and doesn´t create index

12

As far as I can tell it looks OK, but then I have not used that version in a long time as it is quite old. Maybe someone with more recent experience using it may be able to help?
