Package for Kibana 4.2.0

Elastic Stack Kibana
#1

Hi there!

I've been using this tutorial as how to setup my ELK setup but I wanted to try out the 2.0 Elasticsearch and Logstash so I can try the webhook with Slack. Now Kibana won't start and I suspect that's because I'm using Kibana 4.1 like they suggested in that tutorial.

Now there is a Kibana 4.2 0 on the elastic.co website but if I change the link in the tutorial to 4.2, it won't find it.

Could someone help me with finding the right package link for Kibana 4.2.0 ??
Thanks :smile:

You can find it here https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana

Hi! Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it but I meant something among the lines of this

echo 'deb http://packages.elastic.co/kibana/4.1/debian stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kibana.list

if I replace the 4.1 with 4.2 it won't work. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar link for Kibana 4.2.0 but if there really isn't then I'll go with what you suggested.

#4

We don't offer this, even the 4.1 that exists now isn't officially supported.

#5

It isn't? Then how do you explain the "http://packages.elastic.co/kibana/4.1/debian"? Its clearly settled on the domain of Elastic.co. The link itself works for the purposes I'm used it for so I'd have to disagree unless I'm missing something crucial here.

#6

Basically you can use it but you're on your own until we release properly announced and document repositories.

#7

Well the main reason that I use the deb packages is to avoid troublesome things like "don't run elasticsearch as root user" and it also automatically makes it a service. Though the command I use for those deb packages won't work on the Elasticsearch 2.0 deb release nor on the Logstash 2.0 deb release and like I concluded before, Kibana doesn't even have one on the site.

So sadly I guess that just means tough luck for me.

What command is this?

Continuing the discussion from Package for Kibana 4.2.0:

Well I say command but its actually a few lines.

first: wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

second: echo "deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-1.7.list

third: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install elasticsearch

if I replace the "http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian" with the deb link on the website, it fails, saying 404 not found.

All I'm trying to do here is make a slack watcher haha. The previous version worked rather easily with the e-mail but for some reason I'm having a hard time.

This one worked for me:

echo "deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list

I would love to see the repo updated with kibana 4.2.0 (of course 4.3.0 would be nice too, but better wait on the release for that one).

#12

@renevdm Thanks for the suggestion but that is the link to elasticsearch. I need the Kibana one :smile:

@alexjhart Yeah same here. I might be just being lazy and all but deb packages install themselves and it often goes smoothly. If I do it, I might just screw up some configuration.

#13

Well, you were talking about this (see below), and that doesn't look like Kibana either. My post was a reply on that post, not the OP.

#14

Hmm true. Could have specified that though haha. Sorry to trouble you.

#15

All fine, no worries :smile:
