Hi Team, I have installed ELK stack on the Cent OS system. Now I am trying to login to Kibana but I am seeing below page - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/2/426e970470480afa843d121f33b81d53ffe72b0c.png) Used below URL - [http://HOSTNAME:5601/](http://HOSTNAME:5601/) Also used elastic stack domain that I used in the Nginx configuration. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c17c954401a51b9212f99035fd73b56a5b58fcd5.png) Just an FYI - Kibana , ElasticSearch and Logstash is showing up using below command systemctl status kibana systemctl status elasticsearch systemctl status logstash Any ideas what I am missing ? Kind Regards, Asif Bhat ---

Hi, if you setup a reverse proxy for Kibana, shouldn't you rather try to access `http://hostname` instead of `http://hostname:5601`? If you are trying to access Kibana via `hostname:5601` have you made sure it's really be accessible from the outside network, and not just within your server? Cheers, Tim ---

I tried both - [http://hostname](http://hostname) [http://hostname:5601](http://hostname:5601) What setting I need to perform to make it accessible from outside network ? ---

I can't provide any details about your network configuration. Does Kibana respond, if you try to access it from the server host itself via `localhost:5601`? ---

Moreover when I am using only hostname I am getting below screen - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c4db91a152ee0eb2034a85da30a7a313a45b269a.png) Entered kibanaadmin and the password but it is still showing the same window. ---

Any general setting from the ELK stack ? ---

That login is coming from your reverse proxy (and not from Kibana). It's coming from the line: ```auto auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.kibana-user ``` So you should provide the credentials, that are written within that file on the server? Cheers, Tim ---

My Bad. I was using the kibanaadmin instead of "admin". Thanks a ton for your help. ---
