Hi,  
I got the error "reporting error forbidden kibana" when I'm trying to download the CSV file from Kibana...  
I did kibana configurations in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html) but I got the same error.![forbidden error kibanaq|392x424]  
I'm using 7.3.1 version.  
User privileges are kibana\_user, reporting\_user.  
Got the same error for superuser also...  
Also generating the CSV file worked properly a few days ago...  
What is your recommendation to solve this problem?

Thank You!

Hi @testsemd_email,

Can you check the kibana logs for any errors? You mentioned this worked a few days ago, did any updates occur during this time?

Thanks,  
Liza

Hi LizaD  
Thank You!  
How to get the only kibana logs(sometimes got it form systemlogs).  
I didn't do any update.  
It is 6 node cluster and 2 nodes were down and rejoined again them.

Hi @testsemd_email,

Can you try `sudo journalctl --unit kibana` ? You can also narrow down close to the date those two nodes went down and came back up, using `--since` option, for example: `sudo journalctl --unit kibana --since "2020-12-30 03:15:20"`. Let us know if you see any errors or warnings in those logs. Thanks.
