Do you have multiple Kibana installs running? Is it possible that the one bound to 5601 on that IP address is not the same one as the one in which you're installing X-Pack?

Hi @adityajain19,

Can you show a screenshot of you starting up Kibana (on the server) and the complete output that the startup generates?

Thanks,

Shaunak

Hmm... it looks like the Kibana x-pack plugin folder at `/usr/share/kibana/plugins/x-pack` is being skipped at Kibana server start up.

A few follow up questions:

- What are the top-level contents of this folder? `ls -al /usr/share/kibana/plugins/x-pack`
- Who is the user running Kibana? `ps -u | grep kibana`

Thanks,

Shaunak

Hi, this looks like an issue with incorrect ownerships on the Kibana x-pack plugin folder. You'll want to remove your Kibana x-pack plugin install first:

```auto
sudo bin/kibana-plugin remove x-pack # run this from your kibana folder

```

Then you'll want to re-install the Kibana x-pack plugin as the `kibana` user and setup correct ownerships. For that, follow the instructions here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/\_installing\_plugins.html#\_installing\_plugins\_with\_linux\_packages](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_installing_plugins.html#_installing_plugins_with_linux_packages)

Finally, you'll want to run Kibana as the `kibana` user. Currently (looking at the output of `ps -u | grep kibana` it is running as the `ec2-user`.

Hope that helps,

Shaunak

> Can we get a quote for Xpack from somewhere ?

Please visit our [subscriptions page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) for more details. As @TimV suggested, you can fill out the form with the relevant information and someone will reach out to you.

> we use EFK but FluentD has nothing to do with Xpack i suppose

Have you checked out Logstash? Logstash is a server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from a multitude of sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to your favorite “stash.” (Ours is Elasticsearch, naturally.) We recently released a Logstash monitoring UI in 5.2 to help you understand the data ingestion process better. I see that you're using 5.1.1, but definitely check out 5.2 as well since we added many new useful features all across our Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats).

Hope your POC goes well!

Thanks,  
Bohyun
