Hello Team, I am using ansible playbook to run all three Elasticsearch, Kibana and logstash containers in one go. After running the ansible playbook I can see all three containers are up and running. Following is the ansible playbook. ```auto - hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Create network docker_network: name: elk_network - name: Run elastic container docker_container: name: 'elastic' recreate: true restart_policy: unless-stopped image: 'elasticsearch:7.13.2' env: discovery.type=single-node xpack.security.enabled=false published_ports: - "0.0.0.0:9200:9200" networks: - name: "elk_network" - name: Run kibana container docker_container: name: 'kibana' recreate: true restart_policy: unless-stopped image: 'kibana:7.13.2' published_ports: - "0.0.0.0:5601:5601" networks: - name: "elk_network" - name: Run logstash container docker_container: name: 'logstash' recreate: true restart_policy: unless-stopped image: 'logstash:7.13.2' published_ports: - "0.0.0.0:5044:5044" volumes: - "./conf.d/:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/conf.d/:ro" networks: - name: "elk_network" ``` When I am trying setup a kibana from another server, I am getting following error message. Kindly suggest on this. Regard, Sabil. Overwriting ILM policy is disabled. Set `setup.ilm.overwrite: true` for enabling. Index setup finished. Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Exiting: error connecting to Kibana: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to [http://localhost:5601/api/status](http://localhost:5601/api/status) fails: parsing kibana response: invalid character 'K' looking for beginning of value. Response: Kibana server is not ready yet. ---

Response: Kibana server is not ready yet. We need more logs from Kibana to suggest anything, can you enable verbose logging (`logging.verbose: true`) and share the log output? For now it seems that Kibana just cannot connect to Elasticsearch. Are you able to `cURL` Elasticsearch from Kibana container? Best, Oleg ---

@azasypkin Yes, I am able to curl [http://elasticsearch:9200](http://elasticsearch:9200) from Kibana container. here is the error message I can see in kinbana logs. ```auto {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-10-18T11:10:00+00:00","tags":["error","savedobjects-service"],"pid":952,"message":"Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes."} ``` Thank you. ---

Can you try to capture them and share? ---
