Hi @hoangkhac
As @TimV mentioned in [your other post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-yml-does-not-contain-any-x-pack/110232/2) you can add the necessary options `xpack.security.enabled: false` in your kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml yourself.
Regarding your main issue now, it looks like Kibana can't connect to Elasticsearch
> log [01:27:54.589] [error][status][plugin:security@6.0.0] Status changed from uninitialized to red - Authentication Exception
Verify that the credentials you have set in kibana.yml are correct
```
> elasticsearch.username:
> elasticsearch.password:
```
You can verify the correctness of the credentials by attempting to authenticate to Elasticsearch yourself with those
`curl -XGET http://localhost:9200 -u `
replacing with what you have in kibana.yml
