Unable to use Kibana

General Feedback
1

When I go to 127.0.0.1:5601 (default kibana host and port) it says unable to connect.

Elasticsearch.yml configuration:
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.port: 9200
opendistro_security.disabled: true

Kibana.yml configuration:
elasticsearch.url: http://127.0.0.1:9200
logging.dest: /var/log/kibana.log
(All the opendistro_security lines are deleted)

Result of curl to Elasticsearch
curl 127.0.0.1:9200

}

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on virtualbox with host OS as Windows 10 Pro
Installation Mode: Debian

P.S:

  1. Unable to locate kibana logs
  2. I’ve followed all the steps mentioned here (https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security/disable/) to disable security in kibana and elasticsearch.
  3. Everything is running locally on the Ubuntu guest VM
  4. Even when I change the network.host in elasticsearch.yml from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 the problem persists.
  5. I use systemctl to start and stop elasticsearch and kibana services.

Hi arnav, I’m not able to reproduce with a fresh install. Does curl localhost:5601 from Ubuntu also time out? Are you trying to navigate to Kibana using a browser on your Ubuntu VM or on Windows machine? I can imagine some sort of network issue preventing your Windows browser from reaching Kibana, but otherwise, your configuration looks fine.
