Anything interesting in the Kibana logs?

Please don't just post pictures and assume everyone can 1) see them and 2) know's what you want. It's rather rude.

Hi, @warkolm,
Thanks for your comments, I wasn't being rude, @magnusbaeck was asking for logs and I just posted.

Here I put it,

     I am working with elasticsearch and kibana, I wanted to provide ROLE based
 access  to Kibana users, so that only required dashboards would be accessed.
     I've followed  [steps given in](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/kibana.html)
I've also created users and assigned roles to them. When I am opening Kibana
 in browser, initially it was giving STATUS: RED as shown in above image. 
         After restarting kibana now I am able to start kibana, It also asks me to enter 
user credentials but when I submit credentials, it just shows a blank page with a
 message  "Index Patterns: Please specify a default index pattern" as show below,

When I click on More Info it shows,

Did you create an index pattern, as per here.

@warkolm

It doesn't allow me to do that, when I start kibana, It just comes up with 
the above message  "Please specify a default index pattern"
8

So you can't get to settings to create a pattern?

9

Yes, I'm not able to create index pattern.

10

I understand that, but you cannot even get to the Settings section in Kibana?

11

Yes, I can't go to settings.

12

What happens if you try to go their directly - http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/settings?

13

If go to any of the tab Discover, Visualize, Dashboard or Settings, it comes with the same message.
Please specify a default index pattern

Hi @warkolm ,
what does it mean by providing credentials in kibana.yml file

elasticsearch.username: kibana4-server
elasticsearch.password: password

because even though I specify here in kibana.yml file, still it asks on load
of "localhost:5601" and logs in with other uses too.

HI krushnat, i have got the same exception like what you have got and like what you have mentioned in the first two images ! did you find any solution for that? if you please reply for this

16

@sukesh: Can you open the console and see if there are any Javascript errors? In Chrome: View > Developer > Javascript Console

What version of Kibana are you running?

17

18

How do you resolved? It happen to me too, when I add shield plugin. I also changed kibana.yml but not working.
