Is that in the config file? Elasticsearch thinks there is something wrong about it. ---

No this key is not in the elasticsearch.yml config file These are the commands used to integrate the s3 bucket keys. ```auto /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.access_key /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.secret_key ``` ---

@Christian_Dahlqvist I can see a "repository-s3" is available in "/etc/elasticsearch" and "/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins" path . Is that the correct one? any idea? ```auto :/etc/elasticsearch# ls 1 elasticsearch.yml elasticsearch.yml.bak.3.13 elasticsearch1.yml jvm.options.backup20230601 jvm.options.dpkg-dist role_mapping.yml users_roles certs elasticsearch.yml.back elasticsearch.yml.save jvm.options jvm.options.bak log4j2.properties roles.yml elasticsearch.keystore elasticsearch.yml.backup elasticsearch.yml_backup jvm.options.backup jvm.options.d repository-s3 users ``` ```auto :/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins# ls repository-s3 ``` ---

You wrongly entered the secured setting. You need to remove AKIA2OEL6HUQHLHZRQ57 as this is the value and not the setting name. ---

@dadoonet I used the below commands for it, it has asked for entering the value after entering these commands ```auto /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.access_key /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.secret_key ``` ---

Now I am encountering another issue. It says "Kibana server is not ready yet" frequently even though Kibana, elasticsearch, logstash, filebeat all are active. I end up rebooting the machine then the Kibana URL comes up and I am able to login, but after few minutes it again says "Kibana server is not ready yet" ---

I'd suggest that you open a new discussion as this one is solved. You can add your discussion to #elastic-stack:kibana ---
