I am on RHEL 6. I can send messages from my Logstash shipper to Redis to Elasticsearch. I installed logstash via RPM on all my servers and I installed elasticsearch 1.0.3 via RPM. When I issue the command via curl to check my node status, I get two different versions. In Kibana 3, it tells me that "Your version of Elasticsearch is too old. Kibana requires Elasticsearch 0.90.9 or above." As you can see, I am running a version greater than 0.90.9. Kibana also tells me that "Could not reach http://[elastic-search-hostname]:9200/\_nodes. If you are using a proxy, ensure it is configured correctly". I am not using a proxy. Any idea what is wrong? $ curl http://[elastic-search-hostname]:9200/\_nodes/process?pretty { "cluster\_name" : "logstash", "nodes" : { "43V635FUQ46pksH9yZ8SuA" : { "name" : "logstash-[hostname]-23165-2010", "transport\_address" : "inet[/[logstash-central-server:9300]", "host" : "[hostname]", "ip" : "[logstash-central-server]", "version" : "1.1.1", "build" : "f1585f0", "attributes" : { "client" : "true", "data" : "false" }, "process" : { "refresh\_interval" : 1000, "id" : 23165, "max\_file\_descriptors" : 16384, "mlockall" : false } }, "tV3Qwo-YRu-m\_GUDZq5flQ" : { "name" : "[hostname]", "transport\_address" : "inet[/[elastic-search-host:9300]", "host" : "[hostname]", "ip" : "[elastic-search-ip]", "version" : "1.0.3", "build" : "61bfb72", "http\_address" : "inet[/[elastic-search-host]:9200]", "process" : { "refresh\_interval" : 1000, "id" : 3334, "max\_file\_descriptors" : 65535, "mlockall" : false } } } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It'll help if you can gist/pastebin your config for kibana. Also install a monitoring plugin like Marvel or ElasticHQ to give yourself better insight into your cluster.

Thanks for the tips. It turns it that it was a DNS issue. But I am going to install one of those tools.
