Kibana server is not ready yet

Hey,

I just install elasticsearch and kibana version 7.8.1. I am able to access elasticsearch through IP but when I try to access kibana through IP it says kibana server not ready yet. can someone help here

below is elasticsearch.yml file

# ======================== 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: cluster name
#
# ------------------------------------ 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: /opt/data/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: 0.0.0.0
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# 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: ["0.0.0.0", "x.x.x.x"]

#
# 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
#xpack.security.enabled: true

can some one help here

Hi @Bigranawab,

Can you provide the Kibana logs when it starts up, I'm curious if there's anything informative there that can help.

these were the logs

Thanks for providing those, would you be able to grab the history from the first log line to when Kibana is up and running? It seems to have only captured 10 lines in the middle of the startup cycle.

The last line should be something like the following

[info][listening] Server running at http://localhost:5603

Service starts normally but can not be access over web.
how can I get more logs?

You can set logging.verbose: true within kibana.yml and it will provide more logs.

Hey,
I resolved this issue, I re-installed elasticsearch and kibana as they both were newly isntalled, set elasticsearch to localhost and set kibana to be accessed over IP address.
after restarting both services, I was able to access kibana through IP.
I know by doing this I wont be able to send data to elasticsearch as it is on localhost, so I stopped both services and reconfigured elasticsearch on IP and somehow I was able to access kibana and send logs to elasticsearch.

During this activity I came to know (correct me if I am wrong) that this issue will occur when kibana is not able to access elasticsearch.

I think elasticsearch team should have a documentation on this issue with possible reasons and their solution.
