I am trying to install kibana using rpm kibana-4.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm.
However when i try to start the Kibana process, i am getting below prompt
Starting kibana....... unable to start process kibana.
To check the reason i have enabled log file by setting the below parameter in kibana.yml :
logging.dest: /opt/kibana/kibana.log
However no log file is getting created and i am unable to identify why kibana process is not starting.
Any suggestion would be appreciated..
Please check ---
RPM install is not supported on distributions with old versions of RPM, such as SLES 11 and CentOS 5.
My suggetion you can install Kibana with .tar.gz
Can follow the link :

I recently started learning ELK and I succeed to parse my XML files locally. But now I would like to have access to my server to get access to all of my XML files (upgrade every 30 seconds)
I have the ip-address of my server and my question is: should I install Filebeat locally and configure my filebeat.yml to get access to the server or I should install the Filebeat in the server and then indicate my locally address?
Filebeat is a shipper, which collects, aggregate and forward logs to your desired output (logstash, elasticsearch etc).
It works as an agent, so you need to install it in every node from which you want to collect logs from. For instance, if you want to collect logs from your local machine then install filebeat there, if you want to collect from logstash server itself, then install filebeat there. If you want to collect log from both, then filebeat needs to be installed in both machines. and use logstash as an output,
have a look at this illustration,
But when I tried to install filebeat on my server using
curl -L -O elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat/filebeat-6.3.1-amd64.deb
I get this message:
Could not resolve host: www.elastic.co; Name or service not known
The OS version of the server is : Linux version 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64
I used brew to install Elasticsearch and configured via:
http://www.adrianlabastida.com/blog/?p=128#respond
ElasticSearch starts but I can't access localhost:9200 and there isn't any logs I can find for triaging.
Anyone can point me to where the logs could exist on where to track this down?
You'd better download Elasticsearch manually with the flowing steps:
Get the install package https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch ,eg:elasticsearch-5.4.0.tar.gz
Unzip it:tar -zxvf elasticsearch-5.4.0.tar.gz
Go to the Elasticsearch folder:yourpath:/elasticsearch-5.4.0
Start it : ./bin/elasticsearch
visit 9200 port:http://localhost:9200/
brew info elasticsearch
The above will show paths to the relevant log files
I am now trying to install ES on windows 2016 Nano server, it works when start ES in command line, but failed to start ES as windows service, maybe due to some changes on Nano server, but I have no hint at all why it didn't work.
Anyone has experience on installing ES on Nano server?
or Where can I get the source code of ES windows service, elasticsearch-windows-x64.exe? It could be helpful to troubleshoot the root cause.
I haven't got a chance to test it on Nano Server 2016, but I've installed ES 5.1.2 + JDK1.8.0_121 on Windows 2016 Server Core successfully and was able to start the service.
Install JDK and set SYSTEM ENV with setx -m JAVA_HOME
"C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_121" command. It doesn't work with user level ENV variable such as using set JAVA_HOME=xxx.
unzip ES to c:\elk\elasticsearch
Edit the elasticsearch.yml config file, config the Cluster and Node names and save it
install the ES service C:\elk\elasticsearch\bin>elasticsearch-service.bat install
start the ES service C:\elk\elasticsearch\bin>elasticsearch-service.bat start

I try to install logstash basis on this website:
https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash
When I call this comand:
logstash agent -f logstash.conf
in my CMD console, I get and error:
My bin file:
PS. I get similar error with .conf file. Both are empty.
Logstash comes with OpenJDK and fully packet all needed things. In the error message, seen that the error exist because of using system jvm and your jvm is not supported. Try to change your jdk to jdk8 or use installed OpenJDK of the logstash and check if your config file is ok.
I'm trying to setup Shield for Elasticsearch, but had some trouble
When I try to start Elasticsearch like:
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch
all work as expected, but when I'm trying to start/restart Elasticsearch like:
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch srart
I've got error described below
[2015-02-17 21:44:09,662][ERROR][shield.audit.logfile ] [Tusk] [rest] [authentication_failed] origin_address=[/192.168.88.17:58291], principal=[es_admin], uri=[/_aliases?pretty=true]
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Elasticsearch: 1.4.3
Shield: 1.0.1
Elasticsearch and Shield were running with default settings
If your elasticsearch configs are not in /usr/share/elasticsearch but lets say at /etc/elasticsearch
Then just move the usr/share/elasticsearch/config/shield to /etc/elasticseach
Take care that if you start elasticsearch with the user elasticsearch that the new /etc/elasticsearch/shield folder belongs to the user elasticsearch.
If that doesn't make it, then also see this
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/shield/current/getting-started.html#_configuring_your_environment
Same thing happened with me when i tried to add shield to our elasticsearch cluster to add auth based access to elasticsearch data.
I was on ubuntu 14.04 machine and elasticsearch was installed using a .deb package from elastic-download-link.
Elasticsearch was using a service startup script from
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch
in which the configuration was mentioned as:
# Elasticsearch configuration directory
CONF_DIR=/etc/$NAME
But when i tried to install shield plugin on elasticsearch from this-link
and tried to add user on shield by following es-docs using this command.
sudo bin/shield/esusers useradd es_admin -r admin
shield configuration was being updated in
/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/shield/
but elasticsearch server was expecting configuration files to be in
/etc/elasticsearch/shield/
due to this mismatch in read configuration file for shield and new updated file with newly added users on shield causing this authentication failure.
This can be solved either by moving
/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/shield/
to
/etc/elasticsearch/shield/
or by changing conf file location in
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch
as
# Elasticsearch configuration directory
CONF_DIR=/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/
