Hi! I'm using docker-compose to create an ELK stack. When I start the stack and look at the Kibana logs I can see that it just gets stuck waiting for elasticsearch. Log output: [root@fdesmonitor02 stack-elk]# docker-compose logs -f kibana kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:06:58Z","tags":["status","plugin:beats\_management@6.5.1","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from yellow to green - Ready","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Waiting for Elasticsearch"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:06:58Z","tags":["status","plugin:reporting@6.5.1","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from yellow to green - Ready","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Waiting for Elasticsearch"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:06:58Z","tags":["info","monitoring-ui","kibana-monitoring"],"pid":1,"message":"Starting monitoring stats collection"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:06:58Z","tags":["status","plugin:security@6.5.1","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from yellow to green - Ready","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Waiting for Elasticsearch"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:06:59Z","tags":["license","info","xpack"],"pid":1,"message":"Imported license information from Elasticsearch for the [monitoring] cluster: mode: basic | status: active"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:07:01Z","tags":["reporting","warning"],"pid":1,"message":"Enabling the Chromium sandbox provides an additional layer of protection."} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:07:01Z","tags":["listening","info"],"pid":1,"message":"Server running at [http://0:5601](http://0:5601)"} kibana\_1 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-12-12T12:07:01Z","tags":["status","plugin:spaces@6.5.1","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from yellow to green - Ready","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Waiting for Elasticsearch"} My docker-compose.yml contains this config [root@fdesmonitor02 stack-elk]# cat docker-compose.yml version: '3.6' services: elasticsearch: image: elasticsearch:6.5.1 restart: always user: "elasticsearch:elasticsearch" environment: - cluster.name=docker-cluster - bootstrap.memory\_lock=true - "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 ports: - "9200:9200" - "9300:9300" volumes: - /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid:/etc/localtime:ro - ./storage/elasticsearch/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data - ./storage/elasticsearch/config:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config - ./storage/elasticsearch/logs:/usr/share/elasticsearch/logs - ./storage/elasticsearch/plugins:/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins ``` networks: - internal ``` kibana: image: kibana:6.5.1 restart: always expose: - 5601 volumes: - /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid:/etc/localtime:ro - ./storage/kibana/conf:/etc/kibana/ - ./storage/kibana/data:/var/lib/kibana/ environment: - "ELASTICSEARCH\_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200" - "xpack.security.enabled=false" labels: - traefik.enable=true - traefik.docker.network=traefiknet - traefik.frontend.entryPoints=http,https - traefik.internal.backend=Internal - traefik.internal.domain=internal.lan - "traefik.internal.frontend.rule=Host:fdesmonitor02.internal.lan,PathPrefixStrip:/kibana" - traefik.internal.port=5601 networks: - internal - traefiknet logstash: image: logstash:6.5.1 restart: always ports: - "5000:5000" volumes: - /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid:/etc/localtime:ro - ./storage/logstash/conf:/etc/logstash/ - ./storage/logstash/data:/var/lib/logstash/ - ./storage/logstash/logs:/var/log/logstash/ networks: - internal networks: traefiknet: external: true internal: external: false When I try to access Kibana from firefox y get the following code. {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"} ---
