Kibana server is not ready yet

I am trying to set up an ELK stack with communication between Kibana and Elasticsearch. I am new to ELK and I am having trouble. I will present my configurations and the results that I am getting.

To start, I downloaded Kibana and Elasticsearch version 8.2. I am working on Linux. Then, I modified the file /elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml. It contains this:

cluster.name: mes-elasticsearch-prod
node.name: myserver
path.data: /db/appli/data/elasticsearch
path.logs: /db/appli/logs/elasticsearch
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.port: 9206
transport.port: 9306
discovery.seed_hosts: ["myserver:9306"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["myserver"]
xpack.security.enabled: false

Next, I modified my file /kibana/config/kibana.yml:

server.port: 5606
server.host: "muserver"
server.name: "myserver"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://myserver:9206"]
elasticsearch.pingTimeout: 15000
elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 300000
elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 300000
pid.file: "/db/appli/tmp/kibana.pid"

To launch my applications, I enter the following commands:

  • /home/appli/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -p /db/appli/tmp/elasticsearch.pid -d

  • /db/appli/bin/kibana-8.2.0/bin/kibana -c /db/appli/bin/kibana-8.2.0/config/kibana.yml &

Elasticsearch is working well, when I go to the URL: http://myserver:9206/ I see this:

{
  "name" : "myserver",
  "cluster_name" : "mes-elasticsearch-prod",
  "cluster_uuid" : "_na_",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "8.2.0",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "tar",
    "build_hash" : "b174af68dd9f4ac4d25875e9381ffe2b9282c5",
    "build_date" : "2022-04-20T10:35:10.180408517Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "9.1.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.17.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

However, Kibana is not working. On the URL, it says: "Kibana server is not ready yet." Then the interface stops working and I have the following logs:

Can you please help me? I'm stuck and I think the issue shouldn't be too complicated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @boubou,

How many Elasticsearch nodes do you have? It looks like you have a node communication issue based on this error:

Can you try the remediation steps covered in this StackOverflow thread?

I see you have also raised a similar issue here. I would recommend following @DavidTurner's recommendation in thread to check out the troubleshooting guide,. Please don't post multiple topics for the same issue in future.

Hope that helps!
