Hi,

We setup a fresh new log server for our Apache logs, everything is fine and we love it :heart_eyes:
But each morning I need to start by hand kibana i.e sudo /etc/init.d/kibana start After start it run correctly during all the day and the day after I need to start it again... Is there some well known problem or something was messed during installation/configuration??
I checked the logs kibana.stderr is empty and the kibana.stdout :

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-07-14T21:44:06+00:00","tags":["status","plugin:elasticsearch","error"],"pid":23959,"name":"plugin:elasticsearch","state":"red","message":"Status changed from green to red - Request Timeout after 3000ms","prevState":"green","prevMsg":"Kibana index ready"}

Last time I checked I didn't have the timeout, but is it related? Maybe today I'm lucky! :slight_smile:

Thanks for any tips.

I reply to myself,
Always find the answer after posting a message... :sob:

The problem look similar to the bottom post: Kibana is installed on a CentOs and access a remote Elastic, and not using docker.

I'll try their solution and post a re-reply if it's solved.

Sorry for the noise and hope that it can help if somebody don't find the issue or come to discuss first.

You can also try specifying Node's max-old-space-size when running Kibana

NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=256" ./bin/kibana

This should lower the memory overhead.
