Hi, I have two ElasticSearch clusters and one tribe node for searching across the two clusters. And there is a kibana 4 connects to the tribe node. What I have done are: 1. Created .kibana and kibana-int manually in the cluster 2. Launch kibana 3. Got to the screen "Configure an index pattern", hit the create button Kibana loads then throws "MasterNotDiscoveredException[waited for [30s]]" error. It seems a known issue. I also tried adding "tribe.blocks.write: false" into tribe node config file without any luck. I am sure saving dash board will throw the same error. Can anyone help to confirm that if Kibana can talk to tribe node? And anyone figure it out how to do it? Thank you!

Hi Abigail; Did you get any resolution on this issue ? I am in a similar situation and would like to know if anything came of your investigations.

Hey Ramdev, It works for us now. It has been a while. I think I did create .kibana index manually and changed kibana to talk to a regular node first instead of tribe node, after setting up, pointed kibana back to tribe node. Hope this work for you.

Hi Abigail: yeah I had to do the same. I had to create the .kibana index, as well as the mappings for visualization,dashboard,index-pattern and search (refer to [Kibana 4 with tribe node MasterNotDiscoveredException · Issue #3114 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3114) ) and the gist : [Kibana mapping · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/rjosephwright/4ed7d4d25f89f83875db) . Also direct all write traffic to one ES Custer through some judicial use of the tribe.blocks directive in the configuration. to get it working. Its a rather hacky workaround to get it working right.(either that or the implementation seems to be a bit thrown together. Thanks for the response.
