Hi @zqc0512,

Are you on Linux? [The docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.1/xpack-reporting.html#xpack-reporting) indicate that Linux users need to install a couple of packages (`libfontconfig` and `libfreetype6`) for reporting to work properly.

Thanks,  
Chris

K I'm not really sure what's going on. Did you successfully install those libraries (`fontconfig` and `freetype`) on your system?

Hey @zqc0512, do you have multiple Kibana instances pointed at the same Elasticsearch cluster? When using Reporting in this setting, all Kibana servers form a Reporting "cluster" and will take turns processing the Reporting jobs, which requires that the `xpack.reporting.encryptionKey` be set to the same value in all Kibana instance's `kibana.yml`.
