Hello,

I'm installing ELK stack. I have installed Elasticsearch and Kibana but get the error below when I try to open the Kibana page.

'Kibana server is not ready yet'  
I have installed both components (Elasticsearch and Kibana) on the same server in a work/company production environment.  
Version of Kibana, Elasticsearch is 8.13  
OS is RHEL 8.9, installed using RPM (dnf for newer RHEL)  
var/log/kibana/kibana.log showing "message":"Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. socket hang up.  
I have carefully checked my kibana.yml file and it is similar to what everyone has.

I have tried resetting the password of the kibana\_user and implementing multiple solutions from this topic but still can't get it to work.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Justin

Hi Justin. What is your `elasticsearch.hosts` setting in kibana.yml?
