Internet Explorer 11 can't open dashboard

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I created a dashboard and confirmed it was working in the latest version of Chrome.
However, when I open the same url from IE 11, it shows me this page

ie_kibana_dash.PNG1639×709 21.2 KB

Apply now will redirect the page to discover tab but dashboard tab will still not work.
Rest of the button/links are broken and will not do anything.

I tried testing with 4.4.2 and 4.5.0 and they both seem to be having the same issue.

I see you're missing all the buttons to the right of your query bar. Not sure why that is. I have IE 11 on Windows 10 and mine is working fine. Kibana 4.5.

Could you open the developer tools panel with F12 in your IE 11 browser, and with the panel on Console tab, refresh the page. If there's errors please paste them here.
And/or you could also look at the Network tab and refresh the page and see if you have any errors loading something that would make those buttons not appear.

Regards,
Lee

Should look like this;

Hi Lee,

First of all, thanks for the reply.
Here is the output from the Console:

Error: Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key.

In mean while I was trying to see if I could fix the issue myself by commenting out the filter bar, in hopes that will pull the button-group to the left...
I tried editing \kibana-4.5.0-windows\src\plugins\kibana\public\dashboard\index.html but with no luck so far. Perhaps I don't fully understand how the html is being rendered. Do you have any insight on this as well?
Thanks.

Is it possible there is something wrong with your IE installation? Googling that error leads to a bunch of posts related to issues installing things in windows. I was unable to recreate your issue. Since you said that you had the same problem on two different versions of Kibana, but were unable to reproduce the issue on the other two browsers, it leads me to think it is something wrong with your environment.

Ha, you were right.
I got it resolved by resetting my IE to default setting.
Thanks for the suggestion.

However, I'm still curious to find out about my second question...

@rezwu, I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you are asking in your second question. Can you clarify it for me, please?

Hey Jim,

I was trying to change to source code html in this directory '\kibana-4.5.0-windows\src\plugins\kibana\public\dashboard\index.html' but it didn't seem to update my change when I run the Kibana server again.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.

How are you starting kibana?

If you are running from source pulled from github, you can start kibana by ./bin/kibana --dev which will watch files for changes and should automatically re-optimize and show you the latest versions.

If you are running from a distribution, you need to delete the files from within the optimize folder for any changes that you made to the src folder to be included.
