Why i can't to access to the interface of kibana?

Firas_Bougrine · June 26, 2022, 9:18pm

i already installed elastic and kibana 8.2 in ubuntu 22.04 and i try to access kibana from the browser of my host it told me "Kibana server is not ready yet"
this my elastic and kibana yml files :

network.host: 192.168.1.10
#
# By default Elasticsearch listens for HTTP traffic on the first free port it
# finds starting at 9200. Set a specific HTTP port here:

# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide

# index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
# is proxied through the Kibana server.

i put the @ ip of the ubuntu server in config file of kibana and elastic because i configured a static ip for the server

Server not ready means there's a number of potential issues.

You need to look at your logs

First thing I notice is you're trying to connect to elasticsearch on HTTP not HTTPS

elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://192.168.1.10:9200"]

Also, I assume that you have elasticsearch with credentials

You should probably try to use the enrollment token process Or you'll need to provide the username and password and all the relevant SSL information like the CA.

I generally advise people to install elasticsearch and Kibana The first time using all the defaults and all the default processes and then start to change things.

At the very least, you're going to need to use the right protocol. HTTPS you need to provide the username and password and you're going to have to provide the CA for the self-sign cert If you want to manually set this up the first time

thanks stephenb for your support
this my kibana logs :
i think that the error is here instead of the ip @ of the server i should make "localhost"

@Firas_Bougrine I think your configuration may be fine

But You need to navigate to in your browser

http://localhost:5601/?code=636466

Like it says and paste in the enrollment token.

Enrollment tokens are only good for 30 mins.

Pasting the Kibana url into the browser window and then pasting in the enrollment token is how you finish setup.

Follow the instructions in the logs and docs

Firas_Bougrine · June 27, 2022, 5:23pm

thanks @stephenb for your response
i have this problem and i want to fix it
i installed elk 8.2 and i installed it like the guide but when i try to do this cmd like the guide i find this error

elastic@elastic:~$ curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt -u elastic https://192.168.1.10:9200

@Firas_Bougrine

I just did a fresh install ... just accepted all the defaults.

curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200

Worked as root or sudo

The certs are owned by root:elasticsearch

sbrown@stephenb-es-8-test:~$ sudo ls -lrt /etc/elasticsearch/certs

-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 10029 Jun 27 18:30 http.p12
sbrown@stephenb-es-8-test:~$

if I run as normal user

thank you very much @stephenb for your help
@stephenb how to configuring kibana and elasticsearsh in HTTPS and access to the interface of kibana with https ??

stephenb · June 28, 2022, 1:53pm

You already setup https for elasticsearch... And between Kibana and Elasticsearch.

To encrypt communications between browser and Kibana see the docs here

This assumes you have the capability to generate a certificate non self signed certificate.

Firas_Bougrine · June 28, 2022, 5:20pm

https for elasticsearch... And between Kibana and Elasticsearch is automatically configured when i installed elasticsearch ??

stephenb · June 28, 2022, 5:27pm

Yes assuming you followed the documentation for the default installation.

your elasticsearch.yml should look like this..

this is why you / we tested curl with https://....

# Enable encryption for HTTP API client connections, such as Kibana, Logstash, and Agents
xpack.security.http.ssl:  <!-- This is the https ssl for elasticsearch endpoint .. what you accessed with curl
  enabled: true
  keystore.path: certs/http.p12

And kibana.yml should look something like this... and this is https between kibana and elasticsearch

# This section was automatically generated during setup.
elasticsearch.hosts: ['https://10.168.0.12:9200'] <!-- kibana Connecting to elasticsearch via https
elasticsearch.serviceAccountToken: AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMva2liYW5hL2Vucm9sbC1wcm9jZXNzLXRva2VuLTE2NTYzNTU5Njg1Mjg6V3JXUnprY0FUZGV1MjF2MXhSTVFNZw
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: [/var/lib/kibana/ca_1656355969490.crt] <!-- the CA needed for the ssl connection created when you "enrolled" kibana

Again this is IF you followed the docs.

The only unsecured endpoint is between your browser and kibana

Firas_Bougrine · June 28, 2022, 5:44pm

thanks again @stephenb, i have a question plz how to upgrade from elastic 8.2 to 8.3 ?

stephenb · June 28, 2022, 5:55pm

@Firas_Bougrine I am / was happy to help ... but I think you need to start reading the docs... you will learn better that way...

Here are the docs...

These are very detailed... but best practice.

but if you don't have any real data just stop elasticsearch and kibana and get the latest .debs and install then start elasticsearch first then kibana ... try and practice and learn.

Firas_Bougrine · June 28, 2022, 6:28pm

thank you very much @stephenb , i already reading the docs but sometimes there are things I don't understand well
thank you good team of elastic

stephenb · June 28, 2022, 6:35pm

It is very common to not understand everything... try and learn .. we all have..
Mistakes are part of the learning process... keep doing / trying.. .and you will be fine!
