Course: Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) Engineer
Version: 8.11.1
Question: Kibana site won't load
I started up the labs for the ESRE class and the Kibana sit won't load. At 1st I got the "Kibana
not showing up?"
screen and I keep on reloading until I got a white screen and "loading Kibana" popped up . Then it goes to "Kibana server is not ready yet"
I tried running docker-compose -f /home/ubuntu/docker-compose.yml restart kibana
I can't get the Kibana site to load.
Thank You
Hello @srpmic
Welcome back!!
On the Terminal window you can execute
docker ps
Once all the pods are healthy post that you can try to access Kibana
At the bottom of Kibana page there is reset icon as well incase it is still not accessible.
Thanks!!

Hello @srpmic
As we can see that the kibana pod is unhealthy & because of that you are not able to access the URL.
You can try to restart the pod
docker restart kibana
Once restart is done , try to check the status
docker ps
When the status is Healthy try to access Kibana.
Thanks!!

Hello,
I restart the Kibana pod and it goes from 'healthy starting' to 'unhealthy'. I tried a 3~4 times with the same results.
thank you

Hello,
Restarting the workspace machine does not help.
When you say different ID. Do you mean registering another account and logging in with that account?
Is there a way to reset the labs back to default?
Thank You
Ken
Hello @srpmic
Yes , exactly to try with another account as you have tried all the ways of restarting pod/terminal & still issue persists.
Thanks!!
