Kibana used to work until I did user configuration by adding

```
   xpack.security.enabled: true
    discovery.type: single-node

```

to the **elasticsearch.yml** which look this way now`

```
    # ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
    #
    # NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
    # Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
    # understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
    #
    # The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
    # the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
    #
    # Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
    # https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
    #
    # Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
    #
    #cluster.name: my-application
    #
    # ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
    #
    # Use a descriptive name for the node:
    #
    #node.name: node-1
    #
    # Add custom attributes to the node:
    #
    #node.attr.rack: r1
    #
    # ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
    #
    # Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
    #
    path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
    #
    # Path to log files:
    #
    path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
    #
    # ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
    #
    # Lock the memory on startup:
    #
    #bootstrap.memory_lock: true
    #
    # Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
    # on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
    # limit.
    #
    # Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
    #
    # Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
    #
    network.host: localhost
    #
    # Set a custom port for HTTP:
    #
    #http.port: 9200
    xpack.security.enabled: true

    discovery.type: single-node

    #
    # For more information, consult the network module documentation.
    #
    # --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
    #
    # Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
    # The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
    #
    #discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
    #
    # Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
    #
    #cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
    #
    # For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
    #
    # Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
    #
    #gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
    #
    # For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.
    #
    # ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
    #
    # Require explicit names when deleting indices:
    #
    #action.destructive_requires_name: true

```

the logs now show

```

Thank you.

Did you enable and configure security in Kibana as well?
