Issue with launching Kibana 4.0.2

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Greetings,

I'm following along the Official Logstash book (2013) and cannot get Kibana to launch. I get strange error messages:

{"@timestamp":"2016-01-14T02:06:28.943Z","level":"error","message":"unknown error","node_env":"production","error":{"message":"unknown error","name":"Error","stack":"Error: unknown error\n at respond (/opt/kibana-4.0.2-linux-x64/src/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:237:15)\n at checkRespForFailure (/opt/kibana-4.0.2-linux-x64/src/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:203:7)\n at HttpConnector.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

That is a quite old version, and many improvements and enhancements have been made since. If you are just starting out, you are probably better off using the latest version or Elasticsearch, Logstash and kibana.

Thank you. Yeah I ended up downloading a newer version of Kibana and it launched successfully.
