Not able to configure Alerts in Kibana

Hi,

Can someone please help me to enable Alerts and Action option in Kibana as showing Additional setup required, I tried few settings but didn't work.

If anyone can provide me the configuration which needs to be change in Kibana and elastic search yml file that will be much appreciated.

Hey @pankaj0172

U can follow this step on this post

Thanks, Where I can find or change my encryption key?

You have to create one

After making above changes, Now I'm not able start Kibana service. Any idea?

Can you put the kibana.yml file?

# 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: "192.168.102.15"

# 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.
# This setting was effectively always `false` before Kibana 6.3 and will
# default to `true` starting in Kibana 7.0.

#kibana.defaultAppId:"dashboard/3e976f602919ca6f3fb84109e93da9b7"

# 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: "ElfgaStsic$$@20ts20"

#server.ssl.key: /etc/letsencrypt/live/es.abc.com/privatekey.pem

# These files are used to verify the identity of Kibana to Elasticsearch and are required when
#xpack.security.http.ssl.client_authentication in Elasticsearch is set to required.

# Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings. Defaults to the value of

Wrong key, you need to make a 32 character key, not a 16 character key
here is an example
