i installed kibana by rpm, it was running til i made some change to kibana.yml, after that it failed immediately. This is what i changed:
server.port: 5601
server.host:"10.6.145.226"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https:/_/10.6.145.226:9200"]
This is my Kibana.yml file
For more configuration options see the configuration guide for Kibana in
Documentation
=================== System: Kibana Server ===================
Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: 5601
Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.
The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.
To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.
server.host:"10.6.145.226"
Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy.
Use the server.rewriteBasePath setting to tell Kibana if it should remove the basePath
from requests it receives, and to prevent a deprecation warning at startup.
This setting cannot end in a slash.
server.basePath: ""
Specifies whether Kibana should rewrite requests that are prefixed with
server.basePath or require that they are rewritten by your reverse proxy.
Defaults to false.
server.rewriteBasePath: false
Specifies the public URL at which Kibana is available for end users. If
server.basePath is configured this URL should end with the same basePath.
server.publicBaseUrl: ""
The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.
server.maxPayload: 1048576
The Kibana server's name. This is used for display purposes.
server.name: "your-hostname"
=================== System: Kibana Server (Optional) ===================
Enables SSL and paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively.
These settings enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.
server.ssl.enabled: false
server.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/server.crt
server.ssl.key: /path/to/your/server.key
=================== System: Elasticsearch ===================
The URLs of the Elasticsearch instances to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https:/_/10.6.145.226:9200"]
If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide
the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana
index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
is proxied through the Kibana server.
elasticsearch.username: "kibana_system"
elasticsearch.password: "pass"
Kibana can also authenticate to Elasticsearch via "service account tokens".
Service account tokens are Bearer style tokens that replace the traditional username/password based configuration.
fix the typo
You dont need/want the "_"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://10.6.145.226:9200"]
Hi Kevin, its the "" i put it in following the policy of website, in my yml file in the system it doesnt have ""
If its your company policy?
Change it back?
sorry for that, i didnt explain it clearly. Its the policies of this discuss web that we are communicating doesnt allow me to post a complete link so i have to put - in to the middle //
This is where we are:
You posted
I changed some configs and now stuff doesn't work. (providing nothing else, no log of any error, just 3 lines of configuration).
I noted that some configs is broken, suggested you fix it. The 3 lines of information you supplied had a clear and obvious error.
You said I really didn't change it to some configs due to some obscure policy.
OK, then I suggested change some configs back to whatever it was before, when it was working. Did you try that?
For now, it is impossible to diagnose your problem using the information so far shared. Error messages, some context, kibana logs, ... might help.
This is what i got when i run journalctl -eu kibana

i also check in the YML file and when i undo the config, kibana activated
that reads like you are just messing up when editing the file, adding (maybe invisible) characters
After editing, check and validate the kibana.yml with a tool, e.g.
or via command line with (eg) yamllint
This works for me:
# cat $HOME/.yamllint
extends: default
rules:
# don't fail if a line is long
line-length: disable
document-start: disable
comments: disable
# yamllint /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
# yamllint /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
#
thank you so much, finally its run @@
after i delete the space in yml its run completely and i want to try your cmd line but i dont know where to put it. Sr im kinda new with Linux and stuff
dont worry about it, main thing is it now works.
Good luck with your project.
u help me a lot, thank you man
