Hi there,  
Currently i trying hard to connect kibana with ES, by using Docker, through a docker-compose.yml. Here my docker-compose.yml

```auto
services:
  elastic:
    container_name: elastic
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.18.0
    ports:
    - 9200:9200
    environment:
    - discovery.type=single-node
    - xpack.security.enabled=true
    - xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=true
    - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=Cu213lona1993
    - xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path=/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certs/elastic.keystore.jks
    - xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.password=changeit
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl -s -k -u elastic:Cu213lona1993 https://localhost:9200 | grep -q 'cluster_name'"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 10
    volumes:
    - ./certs:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certs  
  kibana:
    container_name: kibana
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.18.0
    ports:
    - 5601:5601
    environment:
    - ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=https://elastic:9200
    - ELASTICSEARCH_SERVICEACCOUNT_TOKEN=AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMva2liYW5hL2tpYmFuYS1zZXJ2aWNlLXRva2VuOmZGZ0RWeVF4UmlTZVZaOEJHbThMR1E
    - SERVER_SSL_ENABLED=false
    - SERVER_PUBLICBASEURL=http://localhost:5601
    - ELASTICSEARCH_SSL_VERIFICATIONMODE=none # Para ignorar el certificado autofirmado
    depends_on:
      elastic:
        condition: service_healthy 

```

and the error i got from kibana is all the time the following:

```auto
[2025-06-28T00:25:10.706+00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. security_exception
        Root causes:
                security_exception: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_nodes?filter_path=nodes.*.version%2Cnodes.*.http.publish_address%2Cnodes.*.ip]
[2025-06-28T00:25:15.530+00:00][INFO][plugins.screenshotting.chromium] Browser executable: /usr/share/kibana/node_modules/@kbn/screenshotting-plugin/chromium/headless_shell-linux_x64/headless
_shell

```

needless to say the kibana token is a brand new. At this point ES is up and running successfully and i'm able to work perfectly between ES and my REST service in spring boot, but kibana simply is not cooperating at all. And all i need to be happy is that kibana is active with ES.

Thanks in advance for any help

Exec into the Kibana Container

Run

`curl -s -k -u elastic:Cu213lona1993 https://elastic:9200`

What do you get?

Thanks for reply @stephenb

When running your command it doesn´t return nothing:

```auto
mzamo@Venom-2025 MINGW64 /c/Elastic
$ curl -s -k -u elastic:Cu213lona1993 https://elastic:9200

mzamo@Venom-2025 MINGW64 /c/Elastic

@cherokeexxx Welcome to the community.

Did you exec into the Kibana Container?

Mine works (I have SSL and auth off on this)

Try

```auto
$ bash
kibana@84dafc31cf1a:~$ 
kibana@84dafc31cf1a:~$ curl -k http://es01:9200

OK that is Good!!

So it looks like you service account token is probable not valid / typo etc

SO try .....

`curl -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer <yourtoken>" https://localhost:9200/_cat/health?v`

`curl -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMva2liYW5hL2tpYmFuYS1zZXJ2aWNlLXRva2VuOmZGZ0RWeVF4UmlTZVZaOEJHbThMR1E" https://elastic:9200/_cat/health?v`

here the answer @stephenb

```auto

You have `https://localhost:9200` but it should be `https://elastic:9200`

I updated the command try again

```auto
curl -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMva2liYW5hL2tpYmFuYS1zZXJ2aWNlLXRva2VuOmZGZ0RWeVF4UmlTZVZaOEJHbThMR1E" https://elastic:9200/_cat/health?v

```

Fixed missing `"`

Also **exactly** what command did you run to create the service token

Thanks. I don't know to interpret the result:

Thats is good it is connected .... look valid!

I think I see it....

I think

`ELASTICSEARCH_SERVICEACCOUNT_TOKEN`  
Should be

`ELASTICSEARCH_SERVICEACCOUNTTOKEN`

Setting is  
`elasticsearch.serviceAccountToken`  
which equals

`ELASTICSEARCH_SERVICEACCOUNTTOKEN`

What happens when you try to open from your server / desktop

`http://localhost:5601`

```auto
[2025-06-28T01:28:18.823+00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. security_exception

```

This seems to indicate kibana is still not authenticating...
