Kibana 6.3.0 failing on > management > Index Patterns

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,

I'm new newbie to ELK

I have installed Elastic search + Kibana using following URL on centos 7
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5601/app/kibana#/management/kibana/indices/

Change 1. changed the installation location for kibana to different path
Change 2. changed the installation location for elasticsearch to different path as we have less storage available on "/"

Change 3. file /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options and edited jvm value

-Xms4g
-Xmx4g

Change 4. file /etc/kibana/kibana.yml and added below IP
server.host: 0.0.0.0

Elastic search is running fine as I have checked with below command:

[root@admin ~]# curl -X GET "localhost:9200/"
{
"name" : "dbFb-O-",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "UyRAyOaKT_WVEminBuu3Kw",
"version" : {
"number" : "6.3.1",
"build_flavor" : "default",
"build_type" : "rpm",
"build_hash" : "eb782d0",
"build_date" : "2018-06-29T21:59:26.107521Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "7.3.1",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Note: I did not set any username and Password or any SSL certificate for both Kibana and Elastic Search

I wanted check if Kibana and Elastic Search is working fine before I move further, So I loaded Sample Data using below URL

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html

I got the Same result after doing that as below

[root@admin ~]# curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices"

In Kibana :

When I move to Next step i.e "Defining your index pattern" and then I Entered shakes* in the Index pattern field.

KIbana request got failed on http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5601/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/bd829490-89a9-11e8-b68b-a7a4a3512cc8

Note: I'm directly accessing kibana on 5601 port not using any proxy

Now When I try to access Kibana management >Index Patterns then It shows blank page

I really don't understand what is the issue.

Thanks in advance
Pankaj

Hi there, can you share the log output of the Kibana server when this error occurs?

For reference purposes, here is a similar problem which another user has reported: TypeError: Cannot read property 'message' of null.

Thanks,

I tried installing Kibana and Elastic Search on Windows docker and Linux docker

Windows Docker: It works well on docker
Linux Docker: It doesn't work.

The only difference in Linux docker-compose.yml file is this

volumes:
  esdata:
    driver: local

I don't understand Where is the issue

Can some one provide the query (CURL directly to elastic Search ) for Elastic search for this URL which is failing on kibana
