After enabling xpack in elasticsearch.yml i am geting the below error in kibana. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/3/b307be0a0a5a2d7a1fc138924f0c246b691a59b6.png) ---

Can you connect to that Elasticsearch URL via a CURL command ? I would verify that. Also, look in the Kibana logs and see what errors you find. ---

Thank you for you reply.

Looks like you have a space before the colon in your kibana.yml file (should be: `xpack.security.enabled: false` so go ahead and address that and restart. ---

In what you have pasted there is a space after other keys before the colon (e.g., 'xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url :'), and not after. The syntax specifies the reverse. ---

i have resolved this error and started kibana. Now i am getting first error again in kibana. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/3/b307be0a0a5a2d7a1fc138924f0c246b691a59b6.png) and i have commented the xpack lines in kibana.yml before starting.

I think the errors without the xpack config options commented out are due to xpack not being installed in Kibana? Sounds like it as it is saying those are unrecognized options. The error from Curl above suggests that Elasticsearch is using SSL, so maybe change the elasticsearch url in kibana.yml to SSL? ---

There are a number of issues with your configuration, I would highly suggest that you go through the documentation and do the configuration step by step, as this greatly simplify the process. I would start from 1. [Install X-Pack in Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/installing-xpack-es.html) 2. [Install X-Pack in Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.2/installing-xpack-kb.html) 3. [Setup TLS for your cluster](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html) That said, You probably have TLS for the http layer enabled in Elasticsearch and/or you are using the wrong passoword. You also have settings from (apparently) logstash and elasticsearch in your `kibana.yml` for some reason. These settings are for elasticsearch.yml and should **not** be in your kibana.yml ```auto xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 ``` These settings are not for kibana.yml either so please **remove** them : ```auto xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: http://myip:9200/ xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: elastic xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: ``` What you need is something like: ```auto elasticsearch.url: "https://myip:9200" elasticsearch.username: "kibana" elasticsearch.password: " **Author:** ![rajushrajan](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/r/bb73d2/32.png) [@rajushrajan](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/rajushrajan)\ **Post date:** [April 19, 2018, 1:34pm UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-connect-to-elasticsearch/128191/11 "2018-04-19T13:34:52Z") Thank you for the reply. Any idea why i am getting the below error in elasticsearch log {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-04-19T13:29:19Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":16473,"message":"No living connections"} and in kibana still its same error . ---

It means that Kibana can't talk to Elasticsearch but without any more context it's really hard to know why. We have all the best intentions to help you with your configuration and get your nodes up and running, but it would be much easier if you provided us with concrete steps on what you are doing and what is your config. - Did you go through the doumentation as suggested ? - Did you fix your configuration ? How does it look like now ? - What are the errors in the logs ( Please share more lines ) ---

Hi , I am going through the document, i have found that the issue with xpack security configuration. when i am commenting below lines in elasticsearch.yml kibana is able to connect. #xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true #xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 #xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12 issue is persist when i am uncommenting this lines. ---

So there is something wrong with your TLS configuration apparently. Can you share the relevant parts of your kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml ? Also please start elasticsearch with the above 3 lines uncommented and check the elasticsearch.log for indications of an error ( or share the log here so we can help further ) ---

When you uncomment those lines, you enable TLS/SSL for the http layer of Elasticsearch . That means that clients can only communicate to Elasticsearch via http over TLS/SSL . Kibana now has : `elasticsearch.url: "http://myip:9200"` so it will try to connect over plain http, and this is what causes the: ```auto [2018-04-19T20:06:35,439][WARN][o.e.x.s.t.n.SecurityNetty4HttpServerTransport] [node-1] caught exception while handling client http traffic, closing connection [id: 0xcddace35, L:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:9200 ! R:/10.169.33.198:32770] io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: io.netty.handler.ssl.NotSslRecordException: not an SSL/TLS record: ``` which clearly states that it received non SSL traffic. So. you need to change ```auto elasticsearch.url: "http://myip:9200" ``` to ```auto elasticsearch.url: "https://myip:9200" ``` when you are uncommenting the lines. Then, you will have a second problem: Kibana doesn't currently support PKCS#12 keystores, so the ```auto elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: ["/etc/kibana/elastic-certificates.p12"] ``` is invalid. You would need to get the CA certificate in PEM format. Assuming that you have used `certutil` to get the `elastic-certificates.p12`, you can get the CA cert in PEM with ```auto openssl pkcs12 -in /etc/kibana/elastic-certificates.p12 -cacerts -nokeys -out /etc/kibana/elastic-ca.pem ``` and then change ```auto elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: ["/etc/kibana/elastic-certificates.p12"] ``` to ```auto elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: ["/etc/kibana/elastic-ca.pem"] ``` ---

Hi. Please read through my post again and perform all the changes suggested It looks like you didn't do everything, and specifically: > [@ikakavas](#): > > So. you need to change > > elasticsearch.url: "[http://myip:9200](http://myip:9200)" > > to > > elasticsearch.url: "[https://myip:9200](https://myip:9200)" since Kibana still attempts to connect to Elasticsearch over plain http. ---

I have done the both changes but in kibana it shows like below ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c48a094ca9f87ccee1b4223ccd02e2bfe0ba39c4.png) ---

Screenshots of Kibana are not helping us to assist you as these neither show your configuration, nor the errors you're getting. I'm going to have to make the exact same request I [made 5 days ago](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-connect-to-elasticsearch/128191/12) > [@ikakavas](#): > > - Did you fix your configuration ? How does it look like now ? > - What are the errors in the logs ( Please share more lines ) [Next page](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-connect-to-elasticsearch/128191.md?page=2)
