Kibana does not start up with tribe node configuration

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello.

I have a kibana fails to start up when initiating connection to tribe node.
I am using the latest 5.3.2 series.

Kibana's tribe node configuration is below. Tribe node is running on the same host as kibana.

# The URL of the Elasticsearch instance to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch.url: "http://10.213.xxx.xx:9200"
elasticsearch.tribe.url: "http://127.0.0.1:9200"

Below are the logs .

It looks like kibana is able to connect to elasticsearch.url but it fails to access to tribe.url .

I have also checked that tribe node is starting up with global address.

[xxxxxxx@xxx00390 ~]$ sudo netstat -atunp | grep 0.0.0.0:9200
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9200            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      22353/java

Is there anything else that I should look for? I would appreciate for any advice.

I was able to see the login screen of kibana when I take off elasticsearch.tribe.url

Solved. I needed below settings.

elasticsearch.tribe.username: and elasticsearch.tribe.password:

Glad you were able to resolve it. Let me know if anything else comes up.
