Hi everyone,

I installed ElasticSearch and Kibana and was able to access it on port 5601.  
Now I want to configure my indices. It's not working.

Here's what shows

Because of these errors, I can't continue with Discover/Visualize.

I need your help ASAP, please.

Thank you,  
Safa

nothing is showing.  
I used this same command a couple of hours ago but in a different format, it showed .kibana, tutorial and the index I created which is ericsson.

you need to send web request to elasticsearch .... you could use kibana's console:
