Currently i develop dashboards and visualization in Kibana. In the next days, there are error when opening kibana with error message like this:  
_{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"{illegal\_argument\_exception: [illegal\_argument\_exception] Reason: application privileges must refer to at least one resource]: application privileges must refer to at least one resource"}_

Then after restarting kibana service, all the dashboards, visualizations and saved objects are missing.

1. Why these error happened?
2. Can i get back my dashboards, visualizations and saved objects into my Kibana?
3. Where the dashboards, visualizations and saved objects located in storage?

Hi @Brisma and welcome to the community!  
I need a bit more info to help debug the issue. Could you please let us know what version of the stack you're running, how you're running it (from source or a product download) and if you can access Elasticsearch?  
To see if Elasticsearch is responding, what do you get from the curl: `curl -XGET <es-endpoint>:9243 -u <username>:<password>` where the username and password are your Kibana auth credentials.

Hello @cheiligers. Thanks for asking  
Currently i use elastic 7.14 on my Linux VM.

I tried using curl -XGET :9243 -u : and the response was "curl: (7) Failed connect to 172.17.30.116:9243; Connection refused"

But when i access curl using port 9200 and 5601, both of them respond the request as usual.

for now, i tried to find the Kibana saved objects in the VM storage. Where is the path or location?

Saved objects are stored in the `.kibana` index in Elasticsearch. You should find that data in the same location as your Elasticsearch data is stored. The [installation guide for Linux](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.14/targz.html#targz-layout) machines gives the directory structure for `.tar.gz` files.
