Thanks in advance!

Kibana doesn't have enough memory to run. One approach would be trying to give the VM/docker container more memory (in case you are running virtual) or move to another server with more memory if this is a bare metal setup.

How much memory does Kibana have to run? Is this the same system Elasticsearch is running on? If yes you have to make sure Elasticsearch is not using up all of the memory.

Okay. thank you Joe for the explanation.
