Hi, I've seen similar topics here, but couldnt dig an answer that solved my problem. So again, when installing kibana 5.0.0-rc1 I am getting the following error when opening the timelion view (everything else seems to work in kibana): ``` Error: in cell #1: [reduce_search_phase_exception] [reduce] at throwWithCell (/opt/kibana/src/core_plugins/timelion/server/handlers/chain_runner.js:30:11) at /opt/kibana/src/core_plugins/timelion/server/handlers/chain_runner.js:156:13 at arrayEach (/opt/kibana/node_modules/lodash/index.js:1289:13) at Function.

What am I missing on the server, any dependency, port to be opened, whatever? Thanks in advance! Andrej ---

Any errors in your ES logs? ---

Looks like lucene expression scripts are disabled in elasticsearch. Timelion requires lucene expressions to be enabled. ---

You are right, I had to enable scripts to make it running. Is there a way to add a check to kibana for those settings and give some advice to the user what to do? The provided error is a bit confusing. Thanks for your help! ---

I think that's a good idea, I've created a ticket for it here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8829](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8829) ---

Hey Andrej, Can you Please tell how you enabled the scripts? I am using AWS Elastic Search and have set up an independent kibana server. ---

Sure, scripting has to be enabled in your elasticsearch instance. So add e.g. the following two lines to your elasticsearch.yml : script.inline: true script.stored: true See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/modules-scripting-security.html#enable-dynamic-scripting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/modules-scripting-security.html#enable-dynamic-scripting) for more details. ---

> [@aros](#): > > instance Actually the problem is that I am using AWS Elastic Search where AWS don't allow to make any changes in the settings. Is there any way to do it their or am I missing something? ---
