Hi I want to run a Kibana in my cluster but faced with a problem and can not run it. When I use `service kibana start` or `systemctl start kibana` , it seems to be ok and kibana is running and also the port 5601 is listening when I check `netstat -tnlp` But I can`t open kibana... When I want to start kibana through `/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana --allow-root` , I see this warning: ```auto [warning][plugins][usageCollection] Monitoring is using xPack:defaultAdminEmail for cluster alert notifications, which will not be supported in Kibana 7.0. Please configure xpack.monitoring.cluster_alerts.email_notifications.email_address in your kibana.yml settings ``` My kibana.yml is also: ```auto # 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: 0.0.0.0 # 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: "" # 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 # The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests. #server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576 # The Kibana server's name.

Can you post the Kibana logs here? The warning you mentioned is irrelevant. Is Kibana emitting an error message or anything? ---
