Hi there, I've installed both Elasticsearch and Kibana 5.6.2 on Windows 10 x64. Running `elasticsearch` seems to work just fine, I get the expected server output and the REST API is accessible at localhost:9200 ```auto curl localhost:9200 { "name" : "IFhcBfL", "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "cluster_uuid" : "ZCJwAdJORMWOgY-x2CICVw", "version" : { "number" : "5.6.2", "build_hash" : "57e20f3", "build_date" : "2017-09-23T13:16:45.703Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "6.6.1" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` However, when I run `kibana` on default settings, following the tutorial [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/connect-to-elasticsearch.html), I get Status: Red and it appears the `plugin:elasticsearch@5.6.2` is timing out. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/7/8773f6025bf5a1b583795b5f37711bb1ec2762dd.png) I'm pretty sure I followed the setup instructions correctly, am I missing something here? ---

Okay, I'm getting a cluster health of "yellow" on when I call the API ```auto epoch timestamp cluster status node.total node.data shards pri relo init unassign pending_tasks max_task_wait_time active_shards_percent 1507329267 18:34:27 elasticsearch yellow 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 - 50.0% ``` It was green before I posted this, and I literally haven't done anything to it so I'm at a loss 😢 ---

What does `_cat/shards` show? Also is there anything in the Kibana logs? ---

Hi, thanks for the reply! `_cat/shards` shows ```auto .kibana 0 p STARTED 0 162b 127.0.0.1 IFhcBfL .kibana 0 r UNASSIGNED ``` And the kibana logs show ```auto log [22:37:27.456] [info][status][plugin:kibana@5.6.2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [22:37:27.519] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.6.2] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch log [22:37:27.534] [info][status][plugin:console@5.6.2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [22:37:27.550] [info][status][plugin:metrics@5.6.2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [22:37:27.706] [info][status][plugin:timelion@5.6.2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [22:37:27.706] [info][listening] Server running at http://localhost:5601 log [22:37:27.706] [info][status][ui settings] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Elasticsearch plugin is yellow log [22:37:28.925] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.6.2] Status changed from yellow to green - Kibana index ready log [22:37:28.925] [info][status][ui settings] Status changed from yellow to green - Ready ``` ...looks like now it works? Lol I haven't done anything at all. Except for restarting both instances a couple times. ---

@warkolm out of curiosity, what is this `UNASSIGNED` shard to the second `.kibana` instance? Is this just a default object? ---

You cannot assign primary and replica shards to the same node, so unless you add more nodes or remove the replica it'll always be unassigned. ---
