Hi @AlexIch, welcome ! Is this after a fresh installation or an upgrade ? What does it say in the kibana logs ? ---

It looks like the fresh installation was still installing whilst another instance was launched. Kibana needs time to start and build up it's initial indexes... try killing all instances, starting kibana again and waiting via the logs when it indicates Kibana is Available ---

I have seen it take more that 20 - 30 minutes depending on your hardware.... if after a while you might need to delete that index. if it is a fresh installation you lose nothing. ---
