Unable to run kibana on secured public IP after enable security feature

Hi Team,

I am getting error while running my kibana :slight_smile:

[warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: https://0.0.0.0:9200/

I am using https for communication

Elastic search is working with Https. But kibana failed to run.

please find my kibana .yaml file config:

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
#server.port: 5601
server.port: 5601
# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.
# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.
# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.
#server.host: "localhost"
server.host: "0.0.0.0"

# Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy.
# Use the `server.rewriteBasePath` setting to tell Kibana if it should remove the basePath
# from requests it receives, and to prevent a deprecation warning at startup.
# This setting cannot end in a slash.
#server.basePath: ""

# Specifies whether Kibana should rewrite requests that are prefixed with
# `server.basePath` or require that they are rewritten by your reverse proxy.
# This setting was effectively always `false` before Kibana 6.3 and will
# default to `true` starting in Kibana 7.0.
#server.rewriteBasePath: false

# The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.
server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576

# The Kibana server's name.  This is used for display purposes.

# The URLs of the Elasticsearch instances to use for all your queries.
#elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://0.0.0.0:9200"]

# When this setting's value is true Kibana uses the hostname specified in the server.host
# setting. When the value of this setting is false, Kibana uses the hostname of the host
# that connects to this Kibana instance.
elasticsearch.preserveHost: true

# Kibana uses an index in Elasticsearch to store saved searches, visualizations and
# dashboards. Kibana creates a new index if the index doesn't already exist.
kibana.index: ".kibana"

# The default application to load.
#kibana.defaultAppId: "home"

# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide
# the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana
# index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
# is proxied through the Kibana server.
#elasticsearch.username: "user"
#elasticsearch.password: "pass"
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: "xxxxxxxx"

# must be a positive integer.
#elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000

# List of Kibana client-side headers to send to Elasticsearch. To send *no* client-side
# headers, set this value to [] (an empty list).

# Set the value of this setting to true to log all events, including system usage information
# and all requests.

#logging.verbose: true

# Set the interval in milliseconds to sample system and process performance

You should specify the correct IP for the Elasticsearch URL instead of 0.0.0.0 in your Kibana config or just use localhost if it is running on the same host.

Hi @Christian_Dahlqvist,

Yes,I am using the IP address over there.just for security purpose i am not exposing IP address here.

I want to use the secure communication & for that I have implemented security feature on that. My elastic search working fine on HTTPS, but kibana gets failed with above error.

Hi team,
Can you please provide the setting that we need to follow up during enable secure communication on kibana ?
