Hi
Elastic 7.11.1
Lets' say I have 3 node elastic cluster and I would like to access this cluster through kibana.
- node-1
- node-2
- node-3
How should I proceed, I mean, should I:
1. install kibana on each of these 3 servers
2. or install kibana onto just one of these cluster nodes
3. or install kibana onto separate server
P1 probably is not a good idea. But the advantage with it is that, whenever some of these 3 cluster node servers are down, then I still have access to kibana UI.
With P2, P3 - the con is, whenever this kibana instance is down, UI cannot be accessed.
Regards
Raul

It is recommended to install it on a separate server/cluster.

Cheers!
