I recently installed X-pack for Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.2.2 on Windows 10. I followed the instructions on the this [internet guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/installing-xpack-es.html) word by word. However, after installing X-pack for Kibana and restarting the ELK stack failed, I have yet to install it for Logstash. Below you can find the Windows Powershell output when I try to launch Elasticsearch. I could not progress to the step where you set users for Kibana and Logstash. Furthermore, when I tried to reach Kibana through [http://localhost:5601/app/kibana](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana) I got the following error message: **Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.** I appreciate your help on these matters. ``` PS C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\6.2.2> .\bin\elasticsearch.exe JNA Warning: IOException removing temporary files: JNA temporary directory '${ES_TMPDIR}' does not exist [2018-04-02T15:12:18,439][WARN][o.e.b.Natives] [] unable to load JNA native support library, native methods will be disabled. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Failed to create temporary file for /com/sun/jna/win32-x86-64/jnidispatch.dll library: JNA temporary directory '${ES_TMPDIR}' does not exist at com.sun.jna.Native.loadNativeDispatchLibraryFromClasspath(Native.java:962) ~[jna-4.5.1.jar:4.5.1 (b0)] at com.sun.jna.Native.loadNativeDispatchLibrary(Native.java:922) ~[jna-4.5.1.jar:4.5.1 (b0)] at com.sun.jna.Native.(Native.java:190) ~[jna-4.5.1.jar:4.5.1 (b0)] at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_162] at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264) ~[?:1.8.0_162] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Natives.(Natives.java:45) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Spawner.spawnNativePluginController(Spawner.java:112) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Spawner.spawnNativePluginControllers(Spawner.java:88) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.setup(Bootstrap.java:167) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:323) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.init(Elasticsearch.java:121) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.execute(Elasticsearch.java:112) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:86) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) [elasticsearch-cli-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) [elasticsearch-cli-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:92) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:85) [elasticsearch-6.2.2.jar:6.2.2] [2018-04-02T15:12:18,471][WARN][o.e.b.Natives] [] cannot obtain short path for [C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\6.2.2\plugins\x-pack\x-pack-ml\platform\windows-x86_64\bin\controller.exe] because JNA is not avilable [2018-04-02T15:12:18,647][WARN][o.e.b.Natives] [] cannot check if running as root because JNA is not available [2018-04-02T15:12:18,647][WARN][o.e.b.Natives] [] cannot install system call filter because JNA is not available [2018-04-02T15:12:18,647][WARN][o.e.b.Natives] [] cannot register console handler because JNA is not available [2018-04-02T15:12:18,679][WARN][o.e.b.JNAKernel32Library] [] JNA not found. native methods and handlers will be disabled.

I somehow managed to make Kibana work with built in account. However, now I have a yellow cluster health and I cannot access my former data. Furthermore, Logstash no longer seems to be working. I think I might have some authentication issue or accessing the wrong URI or something. Could you assist me in this matter? ---
