Hi,
I am running Elasticsearch and Kibana on one machine with Debian 10 in a cluster. Elastichsearch runs properly but Kibana doesn't start.
When I execute the command "journalctl -f -u kibana the following result is shown. Any help on how to solve it ?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

it says there is a config error, please check your "publicBaseUrl" configuration within kibana.yml and fix it. It must look like this

server.publicBaseUrl: "https://192.168.1.10"

Hi,
Thankyou for you answer. I've edited the server.publicBaseUrl. Now I dont see the error but when lunching the web page with port 5601 I see that the application is not found. The following message is returned {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}. I've follow all the instruction for the installation and I dont know what is missing.

What happens if you comment out the line, just this once for troubleshooting

If I do that the web page become not accessible now.

Can you share your kibana.yml ?

What if you try the full url to connect to https://192.168.1.10:5601 ?

Also do the logs confirm Kibana is Available ? if so, it should tell you at which url it can be accessed.

Here it is

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: 5601

# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.
# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.
# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.
server.host: "10.0.0.14"

# Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy.
# Use the `server.rewriteBasePath` setting to tell Kibana if it should remove the basePath
# from requests it receives, and to prevent a deprecation warning at startup.
# This setting cannot end in a slash.
server.basePath: "/elk"

# Specifies whether Kibana should rewrite requests that are prefixed with
# `server.basePath` or require that they are rewritten by your reverse proxy.
# This setting was effectively always `false` before Kibana 6.3 and will
# default to `true` starting in Kibana 7.0.
server.rewriteBasePath: true

# Specifies the public URL at which Kibana is available for end users. If
# `server.basePath` is configured this URL should end with the same basePath.
server.publicBaseUrl: "http://10.0.0.14:5601/elk"

# The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.
#server.maxPayload: 1048576

elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://10.0.0.14:9200"]

# Kibana uses an index in Elasticsearch to store saved searches, visualizations and
# dashboards. Kibana creates a new index if the index doesn't already exist.
#kibana.index: ".kibana"

# The default application to load.
#kibana.defaultAppId: "home"

# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide
# the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana
# index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
# is proxied through the Kibana server.
#elasticsearch.username: "kibana_system"
#elasticsearch.password: "pass"

# Kibana can also authenticate to Elasticsearch via "service account tokens".
# If may use this token instead of a username/password.
# elasticsearch.serviceAccountToken: "my_token"

# Enables SSL and paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively.
# These settings enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.
#server.ssl.enabled: false

#server.ssl.key: /path/to/your/server.key

# Optional settings that provide the paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and key files.
# These files are used to verify the identity of Kibana to Elasticsearch and are required when
# xpack.security.http.ssl.client_authentication in Elasticsearch is set to required.
#elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/client.crt
#elasticsearch.ssl.key: /path/to/your/client.key

# Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the PEM file for the certificate

# To disregard the validity of SSL certificates, change this setting's value to 'none'.
#elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: full

# Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings. Defaults to the value of
# the elasticsearch.requestTimeout setting.
#elasticsearch.pingTimeout: 1500

# Time in milliseconds to wait for responses from the back end or Elasticsearch. This value
# must be a positive integer.
#elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000

# List of Kibana client-side headers to send to Elasticsearch. To send *no* client-side
# headers, set this value to [] (an empty list).

For troubleshooting purposes, if you uncomments these three settings, can you access the url - http://10.0.0.14:5601

I have commented these lines and now I can launch Kibana UI. Still I dont know why it did not pass with those lines uncommented. I'll see the documentation to look deeper about that.

Thank you for your help !

If you are behind a proxy, your base path would be base of the address

Yes, I tried to do like that. Now It is good.

Thankyou !
