Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello,

I am trying to install ELK. I have already installed “elasticsearch-2.2.0” and “logstash-2.2.2” and both working fine for me. I am installing on RHEL7.1.

Now I am trying to install “kibana-4.4.1”. But I am getting below error. Can you please help me on this.
Error:-
……………………………………………………………..
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# ./bin/kibana
module.js:341
throw err;

[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# node -v
v5.7.1
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# npm -v
3.6.0

Thanks

Did you install Kibana via the official download, or are you trying to run it from the git source? The official releases of Kibana come bundled with the appropriate version of node, so you don't need to set it up yourself.

Kibana 4.4.1 comes bundled with 0.12.10.

Hello,

I am installing Kibana via the official download. When I was installing kibana without installing NodeJs, I was getting this error "unable to find usable node.js executable.".

Then I install nodejs "0.12.10", I was getting the same error "Error: Cannot find module './$.array-species-create'".

Then I installed nodejs v5.7.1, but error was same.

Is there any rpm available for kibana?

The official download of Kibana comes with node.js, so if it can't find the binary, there is a problem. I'd recommend working on finding a solution to that problem first.

In your official download, can you provide the output of:

./node/bin/node -v

Hello,

There is no bin directory in node.

[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# ./node/bin/node -v
-bash: ./node/bin/node: No such file or directory

[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# ls ./node/
lib

Hello,

And "npm" is avalable.

[root@VCCDBLDCM24 kibana-4.4.1-linux-x64]# cd lib/
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 lib]# ls
node_modules
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 lib]# cd node_modules/
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 node_modules]# ls
npm
[root@VCCDBLDCM24 node_modules]# npm -v
3.6.0

Where did you download Kibana from? It sounds like whatever you downloaded is completely broken.

Hello Court,

I have downloaded from "https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana" LINUX 64-BIT .

Is there any other option to download?

Or is rpm is available for kibana?

Please help me.

That's the correct place, though it sounds like you only got a partial archive. I'd recommend downloading it again and making sure to verify the sha of the file to make sure you got the file we uploaded in entirety.

Kibana is also available via apt or yum: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/setup.html#setup-repositories

Yeah, you are right :slightly_smiling:

I downloaded again and that works fine.

Thanks a lot
