Hello all, There appears to be an issue and I didn't know if anybody had any experience with Kibana on FreeBSD. Elasticsearch seems to install just fine after using the instructions with the package installer, but apparently even after being able to get a curl response from elastic. Also, setup the kibana.yml file with the only option added was "elasticsearch.url: [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)". It appears to crash everytime I start the service after doing the first onestart. Any help would be great. Thanks all! 😃 ---

Technically we don't support FreeBSD, but it should still work.. Providing the version of things you are using (OS, Kibana) as well as any logs would be helpful 🙂 ---

It looks like it's being restarted pretty regularly, is there something in the OS logs that might line up with these? ---

This was probably my attempts at trying to restart it. However, I don't appear to have any other logs that I can see that has any activity about Kibana at all, but if someone can point me in the right direction to look I can dump the logs here. Thanks all! 😃 ---

So how do you know it crashes? What do you mean by crash as well? ---

The main reason I know it does, because not only do I not get a response from the server even if I disable it's firewall. (don't worry, this is super alpha non-prod) I also can see when I use htop that it tries to start the service as www user, but then it disappears. ---

From the looks of things in /var/log/messages, I'm getting this when I try "sudo service kibana restart': Sep 1 16:43:35 freebsd kernel: pid 26735 (node), uid 80: exited on signal 6 Sep 1 16:48:32 freebsd kernel: pid 86116 (node), uid 80: exited on signal 6 Which according to this: [https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-April/042665.html](https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-April/042665.html) Means this: Signal 6 is SIGABRT -- see /usr/include/sys/signal.h. A process dying with this signal is usually due to it calling the abort(3) function. That generally indicates that the process itself has found that some essential pre-requisite for correct function is not available and voluntarily killing itself, rather than the process being killed by the kernel because it ran over resource limits or looked at memory addresses funny or something. So, besides kibana.yml having the elasticsearch.url being set to "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)", what else is required after install? ---

Maybe if I took this from a different route. If anybody has a kibana.yml configuration that works on FreeBSD that they are willing to share here, I can take a look at it and try one change at a time to see if it works out for me. Thanks all! 😃 ---

If it runs it shouldn't really matter what OS is it. But what does your config look like now, minus comments? ---

The only thing minus comments should be: elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" There's also no firewall or anything enabled as this is a testbed. ---

Yes, it is, which is what's confusing me. I'm trying to setup a basic installation, but it doesn't appear to be working. I made a backup of the original file and removed all other text besides the aforementioned setting that was added. ---

Welp, I hate beating a dead horse, but I guess no one else has had experience with the problem of my kind. So, I will close this in a week if no one else responds. Thanks anybody who helped get me along. ---
