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?" ![kib-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/9/99f114a347ed7ff38fa0a0201d8a43a1d3e6ed94.png) 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" ![kib-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/d/8dc2a3cc35c8ee94c5b1572588024f0824aae79f.png) 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, 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 ---
