Hi,  
I installed marvel plugin as below:

ES 3 nodes cluster: marvel-agent on all 3 nodes  
marvel-2.3.4.tar.gz on Kibana host.  
Restarted kibana and ES.  
When I hit URL [http://KIbana-Host:5601](http://KIbana-Host:5601), it show Status: RED and under installed plugin it shows

```
   plugin:elasticsearch Service Unavailable
    plugin:marvel Waiting for Elasticsearch 

```

In ES logs it says:

```
[2016-07-28 13:49:49,569][INFO][marvel.agent.exporter] [sit-master-data-node-0] skipping exporter [default_local] as it isn't ready yet
[2016-07-28 13:49:59,573][INFO][marvel.agent.exporter] [sit-master-data-node-0] skipping exporter [default_local] as it isn't ready yet
[2016-07-28 13:50:09,574][INFO][marvel.agent.exporter] [sit-master-data-node-0] skipping exporter [default_local] as it isn't ready yet
[2016-07-28 13:50:10,552][WARN][discovery] [sit-master-data-node-0] waited for 30s and no initial state was set by the discovery

```

What is the reason for this. In another environment I followed same steps and it works.

Hi Sunil,

```auto
    plugin:elasticsearch Service Unavailable
    plugin:marvel Waiting for Elasticsearch

```

This indicates that Kibana is waiting for a connection to Elasticsearch. It has nothing to do with Marvel. Ensure that Kibana is talking to the right Elasticsearch node(s).

```auto

[2016-07-28 13:50:10,552][WARN][discovery] [sit-master-data-node-0] waited for 30s and no initial state was set by the discovery

```

This indicates that Elasticsearch is not ready yet because it's waiting for master quorum. Ensure that your 3 nodes are properly configured to communicate with each other.
