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 . ``` May 3 11:58:04 BSU00390 systemd: Started Kibana.

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. > **[Configure Kibana | Kibana Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html)** > elasticsearch.tribe.username: and elasticsearch.tribe.password: ---
