Hi ,

I'm new to ELK, I have just managed to install elasticsearcch and Kibana without any issues.
However after executing kibana the dashboards showing below warnings

plugin:elasticsearch@6.2.4 Authentication Exception

Hi Prabu,

that usually means, that the login data in your kibana.yml that Kibana used to connect to Elasticsearch is wrong. Could you please check your kibana.yml for elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password and check that those are the valid login data for the Kibana system user.

Please also have a look into the following setup instructions:

• Installing X-Pack in Kibana
• Setting up user authentication

Cheers,
Tim
