We've decided to try out the Elastic Stack as a replacement for our current solution, and have run into a question/issue along the way.

- ElasticSearch has been setup and is running on Ubuntu 18 using the .deb install package as [per documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/setup.html)
- During ElasticSearch setup, we didn't do the [steps for X-Pack setup for usernames](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/security-settings.html) since we are trying out the basic version, then will evaluate our needs for the Pro version.

However, now that we are attempting to install the [2nd piece of the stack](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/installing-elastic-stack.html), Kibana, we get to the [install documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-settings.html) that makes it sounds like we needed to setup the X-Pack and user accounts in order for Kibana to have an account to connect to ElasticSarch.

For testing out ElasticStack, do we need to go back and do the X-Pack setup instruction with ElasticSearch, even though the plan was to setup using the Basic version to get started?

You can skip that part 🙂

Thank you - I needed to go back and update a few things in the .yml config file (e.g. from localhost to IP address) for Kibana and Elasticsearch, and now am able to login to Kibana.
