Unable to fetch mapping with kibana, however there are indices in Elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello!

I have a problem that I can't configure index pattern.

Error message:
Unable to fetch mapping. Do you have indices matching the pattern?

Seems like that Kibana can't query elasticsearch properly.

curl 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices' returns:

yellow open .kibana uciy46GzSGSDs9fUlSnH2g 1 1 1 0 3.1kb 3.1kb
yellow open logstash-2017.09.18 OjAoSQqgQB-GNQIO9xGnKA 5 1 33 0 65.9kb 65.9kb
yellow open logstash-2017.09.19 ed0hHZbcRQK0yyIfbRsAgg 5 1 180059 0 70.8mb 70.8mb

My first thought would be that kibana can't connect to elasticsearch, but that's not true because when elasticsearch is not running I getting a different error that Kibana can't reach it.

OS: RHEL 6

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

What index pattern are you defining?

3

Hey!

logstash-* (the default one)

I also forgot to mention that kibana.stderr is empty

4

That's odd, anything telling in the Kibana logs?

5

Nothing.

kibana.stderr - empty

kibana.stdout
there are a lot of information about opening the kibana page itself
only interesting is that one:
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-09-18T15:27:45Z","tags":["status","plugin:elasticsearch@5.4.0","info"],"pid":10351,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from yellow to green - Kibana index ready","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Wait
ing for Elasticsearch"}

But it says that everything is ok.

What is also interesing that under dev tools with the next query I see that there are logs in elasticsearch.

GET _search
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  }
}

Part of the result:

"timed_out": false,

Does logstash* work. I am wondering if either the index name or the pattern are using different characters (en-dash vs. hyphen, for example).

Doesn't work. :frowning: I even tried l*
