Kibana not showing indices screen after new install

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi guys, I'm new to ELK and to this community.
I installed ELK on Ubuntu. All seems to be up and running (ES, nginx, Kibana, Logstash)
But, when I browse to Kibana, after authenticating on nginx, the browser displays only the upper header: Kibana logo + Discover / Visualize / Dashboard / Settings , without the indices info (see screenshot)

Any idea what went wrong?

Hi,

Did you go to settings and Indices and try it

Thank-you Mohammed.

The issue is that the Kibana screen that the browser presents (I attached a screenshot of it) is not active, and clicking on Settings at this screen does not cause anything to change on the screen, and specifically not to show anything related to indices.

Oddly I'm seeing something very similar. I have an existing setup, with a fair few searches and visualisations saved, but when I deleted one index in the Kibana settings, everything went blank.

Check your KB and ES logs.

From last 1 week I am facing the same issue , I have just created a simple index just for testing purpose but when I open Kibana 4.3 nothing appears accept the screen you attached .

Sometimes after waiting for 5 min kibana page throws and error as below

my problem is almost the same as yours, except that i can connect to kibana on my nodes, but not on the balancer.

you can check my configs and logs here: [ 4.3.0 ] how to configure your nginx balancer and apache reverse proxy

Actually Mine problem was with the environment i.e windows 8 so I switched to server 2012 and it works fine for me .Even it is working fine on Ubuntu .
