Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. security_exception

Hi @sp0ydiYO welcome to the community!

Your Kibana is not configured correctly

You do not have the following set.

elasticsearch.hosts: "http://192.168.1.116:9200"

That should be https

Also you do not have the username or password set ...

AND

You can not use elastic as the user for Kibana to connect to elasticsearch that is not allowed you need to kibana_system and the password for that.

kibana_system
The user Kibana uses to connect and communicate with Elasticsearch.

If you do not know it you will need to reset it using

But you don't need to use the elasticsearch secure keystore.
