Monitoring Web Server Metrics training: issue to connect to kibana

[Thibaut_M (Thibaut Maire)]

Hello,

I follow the course " Monitoring Web Server Metrics" but i can't connect to Kibana and therefore cannot pursue the Lab and training.

I'm blocked in Lab 2 question 3. Could yo help me to setup Kibana. I don't know why this doesn't work

Thank you

Hi Thibaut,

Can you please try the following? Open a new terminal tab in the Strigo virtual lab environment, and stop Kibana:

kill $(ps aux | grep '[k]ibana' | awk '{print $2}')

Next, start Kibana in the foreground:

./kibana/bin/kibana

And post the output here? (Just the output that's visibile in the terminal should be enough)

Hi Abdon,

I can't even connect to the lab now... Preparing workstation is displayed since 10 minutes.

Hi Thibaut,

I have restarted your VM. Hopefully you are able to access it now. You will now have to start with lab 2 from the beginning. I recommend running Elasticsearch and Kibana in the foreground.

Step 2, start Elasticsearch like this:

./elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch

Step 3, open a new terminal and start Kibana like this:

./kibana/bin/kibana

If after that you are still unable to access Kibana, please post the output of the Kibana terminal here.

Hi Abdon,

Still can't acces to the lab, same as the screenshot above.

[abdon (Abdon Pijpelink)]

Sorry about the problems you're experiencing. I have now completely replaced your lab environment with a new one. Could you try again to see if that has resolved the issue?

[Thibaut_M (Thibaut Maire)]

The lab is working but still can't access kibana. But the logs seems good :

But i got "This page isn't working" :

[Thibaut_M (Thibaut Maire)]

Nevermind, this a problem on my side, I need to open 5601

Thank you for your help
Thibaut

[abdon (Abdon Pijpelink)]

Yeah, I was just thinking the same. Glad you figured it out!

You could also run Kibana on a different port:

kibana/bin/kibana --port 8080

[Thibaut_M (Thibaut Maire)]

I made a request to open 5601

I tried to specify port 8080 but still can't connect to kibana...

Also is it normal to have this as bound_adresses? :

[abdon (Abdon Pijpelink)]

Yeah, that's not a problem, for Elasticsearch.

You could try some other ports for Kibana. 443 is also a port that's commonly open.

Ok thank you,

Don't work either
