Hi @17HungLe02
Welcome to the community...

But you should really supply more information like
The version you're on.
What you installation method is.
What your configuration is? Otherwise we may just be guessing.
How did you set up manually or auto configuration

That means during the auto setup the the Kibana process could not update the kibana.yml file which would appear to me that the user you started Kibana with does not have permission to write to the Kibana extract files.... Most likely due to permissions. Make sure that file is writable by
`chmod 666 kibana.yml`
[Start elasticsearch first](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.9/targz.html#targz-enroll)
Get the enrollment token that will be printed .
Then start Kibana... Watch the console and click on the link that shows in the console... Paste in the enrollment token.

Hi @17HungLe02
Sorry you are providing such little information and screenshots... instead of text.
I would start from scratch clean up / erase everything and try again...
set the permissions on the kibana.yml... before you start anything
Start Elastic ... let it come all the way up you should get all the credentials tokens everything...
then start kibana...
Do you have docker ? It might be easier...
