Error importing Kibana dashboards:

[stephenpatten]

Hello,

I am getting this error when executing heartbeat from the windows command line:
Exiting: Error importing Kibana dashboards: fail to create the Kibana loader: Error creating Kibana client: fail to get the Kibana version:HTTP GET request to /api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get https://tstkibana.tstlifeint.tstpl01.net:5601/api/status: dial tcp 172.20.141.166:5601: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.. Response: .

It seems as if heartbeat is issuing a GET to http://tstkibana.tstlifeint.tstpl01.net:5601/api/status, but that fails. I have DNS setup for kibana "tstkibana.tstlifeint.tstpl01.net" so the port seems to be the problem as I can navigate to https://tstkibana.tstlifeint.tstpl01.net/api/status in chrome and receive a 200 and json.

Any pointers would be helpful.

I think you need to set the setup.kibana.host option to http://tstkibana.tstlifeint.tstpl01.net, see here.

That is set.
