After installing X-pack for both ElasticSearch and Kibana, I have encountered this problem as several users experienced before. I still can not resolve this issue after looking at document and other treads in the website.

Here is my log in an attached file
My config.yml is modified with user: "elastic" and password: "XXXX"

What version are you on?

Can you navigate to localhost:9200 and log in directly to elasticsearch there? (or whatever custom URL if your elasticsearch is not hosted using the default domain/port).

That error happens usually when Kibana can't communicate with Elastic. Can you send over the logs from right after you boot up Kibana? Can you send over the logs from your Elasticsearch instance as well?

Is everything else in your kibana.yml using the default parameters? Anything customized in your elasticsearch.yml?

problem still remained

both are 6.3.0 and I have also auto-generated credentials using elasticsearch_password.bat and reflected on kibana.yml correctly {elastic:'PASSWORD'} so Kibana can connect to elasticsearch. problem is logstash is not working properly as I posted.

My machine is Windows and I installed using .msi so I don't directly can see elasticsearch.yml on my machine.
