Hi All,
I have installed kibana in my local system, my elasticsearch is in production server running on 9200 port, i have made 9200 port public.
I have made changes to kibana.yml file by making elasticsearch.url pointing towards my production elasticsearch.
I am getting the below error:
"" [warning][license][xpack] License information from the X-Pack plugin could not be obtained from Elasticsearch for the [data] cluster. [illegal\_argument\_exception] No feature for name [\_xpack] :: {"path":"/\_xpack","statusCode":400,"response":"{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"No feature for name [\_xpack]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"No feature for name [\_xpack]"},"status":400}"} ""
what to do any suggestions or help ??

Can u access localhost:9200 ? What version are you trying to install ?

What is the output of elastic\_ip:9200 from your kibana installed machine's browser ?
for example your production elastic IP is 10.100.113.224 then try from browser addressbar -\>
10.100.113.224:9200
