Hello there: I have current versions of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana 3 installed on CentOS 6.5 . But when I pull up a browser, I get a black header with text 'dashboard.current.title', and the rest of the page is blank. I also copied the Kibana site to the plugins directory, and get the same result: [http://host.domain](http://host.domain) and [http://host.domain:9200/\_plugin/kibana3/](http://host.domain:9200/_plugin/kibana3/) . I made changes to config.js: elasticsearch: " [http://host.domain/elasticsearch](http://host.domain/elasticsearch)" , however it is still not working. Any suggestions re what I am missing? Thank you for helping a Newbie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Also, in my reading online, I am not certain of the exact syntax. On one site, it said something like: elasticsearch: “http://”+window.location.hostname+”:9200″, Should the '+' 's really be in there? I've tried with and without. I've also made variations on where the quotes are, but it doesn't seem to change anything (other than sometimes it comes up w/ a cryptic text page).

You shouldn't need the /elasticsearch there. It might be easier if you put your config(s) in a gist and then link to it, it'll give us a better overall picture of how you have set things up.

Just wanted to thank you for your assistance. I downloaded/ran Logstash v 1.3.1, and it has Kibana 3 & Elasticsearch already embedded. Just need to write a wrapper to run as a service.

The default should be fine if you have port 9200 open. I've been messing around with kibana as well and it isn't the most friendly to setup. I'd prefer the way e.g. elasticsearch-head works, which simply allows you to paste a url in the UI. I can run elasticsearch-head straight from the git directory by opening index.html from the filesystem and then pasting the right url. No need to mess around with es plugins. This doesn't work for kibana unfortunately. A simple way to get started is using ssh tunnels. Simply put kibana on any web server that can serve static content, and point config.js at [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200). Then simply create an ssh tunnel: ssh -L 9200:localhost:9200 user@elasticsearchboxip to tunnel the elasticsearch traffic to localhost and point your browser at kibana. This is probably the easiest to setup and get working (short of running everything on localhost). This bypasses the need to set up elaborate security. This is more secure as well since it doesn't require you to lock down nginx enough so that an enterprising hacker doesn't get full access to all your data in elasticsearch. In our current setup, I have a nginx hosting kibana and proxying elasticsearch over https with basic authentication. I've tuned it such that you only have read only access to Elasticsearch (except for the index that kibana uses to store its settings).

Hej: I was also testing this and had some issue. When running the embedded logstash(1.3.3)-elasticsearch-kibana was working perfect but as separate components I was having issues. When it comes to Kibana I downloaded Kibana 3 Milestone 4 and after reading a lot I realized that Kibana needs to be installed together with a Web server (this is how newbie I am). Now for the config.js the value that I am using is: ``` elasticsearch: "http://localhost:9200", ``` And then I have elasticsearch 0.90.9 which is started also in the 9200 port by making sure that the config/elasticsearch.yml configuration file contains the following line: http.port: 9200 Then in my case before installing any web server I found you can run a small Simple Web Server using python with the following instruction: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 You have to run this command from the main Kibana directory (where the config.js and index.html files are). I am using SSH Tunneling so I open ports 9200 and 8080 for localhost. Then I point my web browser to [http://localhost:8080/index.html](http://localhost:8080/index.html) And I could see Kibana dashboard but if there is no indexed information in the elasticsearch data directory it reports and Error: _Error_ No index found at [http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/_all/_mapping). Please create at least one index.If you're using a proxy ensure it is configured correctly. The error clears when you have inserted data via logstash.

This allowed me to get ES working without logstash: (standalone) sudo bin/elasticsearch I placed some data into the ES index there are plenty of examples of placing dummy data in.

IMO based on what I've done and observed: - Should not matter whether you use the IP address or FQDN in a URL as long as the FQDN maps to the same IP address. So, Geovanie's problem with this is likely a HOSTNAME mapping problem where the HOSTNAME is correct. - I don't know that the SSH tunnel described by Jilles is effective at all. AFAIK as long as "localhost" is mapped to lo and not a real network interface which communicates with other nodes, I find it hard to conceive how there is a security issue (maybe someone will point out something I'm missing?). Additionally, if you're trying to secure access to cluster information, this won't do it. AFAIK securing a connection to any one Host (eg localhost even if it was done) won't prevent someone from querying any other node in the Cluster which would then happily respond because ES today does not integrate with any kind of security (If someone is looking into this, I'd suggest PAM support which would theoretically enable practically any kind of network security authentication). And, remember that a browser or webserver is not a requirement for querying for cluster data, ES supports curl using the exact same statements.

I have found 3 ways of launching Kibana 3 1. If you're just setting up a Demo, you can launch an embedded version without d/l and installing any files if you're using Logstash, just append "-- web" to the end of the Logstash statement, eg java -jar logstash -f configfile -- web Then, just open a web browser to localhost:9292 1. Install as a plugin. If you do this, then you do need to use the url with that includes "\_plugin" eg [http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/)... 2. Personally, I prefer to just run in a webserver, for this I just d/l the TAR file, extract and copy or move the file to the webserver root. Then, you can open a browser to [http://localhost](http://localhost) Note that part of why I prefer this last method is that I can also deploy other web tools like es-head and es-hq to the same website, if I extract the TAR files (or simply git clone them) and copy to the webserver's root (including the parent directory of the new additions) then those can also be accessed as subdirectories, eg [http://localhost/elasticsearch-head/](http://localhost/elasticsearch-head/) [http://localhost/elasticsearch-hq/](http://localhost/elasticsearch-hq/) HTH, Tony On Tuesday, December 17, 2013 3:42:33 PM UTC-8, [corpen...@gmail.com](mailto:corpen...@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello there: > > I have current versions of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana 3 installed > on CentOS 6.5 .
