NOw when on kibana ./kibana

but iam getting error  
{"name":"Kibana","hostname":"localhost.localdomain","pid":20806,"level":50,"err":{"message":"AuthorizationException[action [cluster:monitor/health] is unauthorized for user [test2]]","name":"Error","stack":"Error: AuthorizationException[action [cluster:monitor/health] is unauthorized for user [test2]]\n at respond (/home/ktree/kibana-4.1.11-linux-x64/src/node\_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:235:15)\n

From what I can see in the [compatibility matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#show_compatibility) it looks like you are running an unsupported combination of Shield and Elasticsearch. Are your versions correct?
