'Error Could not contact Elasticsearch at http://localhost:9200. Please ensure that Elasticsearch is reachable from your system.'
Currently I am following http://packetbeat.com/getstarted
I installed
- elastic search – running on localhost:9200 – returns the json,
2.packetbeat – running, - Kibana on port 8000
Now, I change my kibana/config.js file – enter ,
elasticsearch: "http://"localhost":9200",
under elasticsearch.
I get a plain white page with {{dashboard.current.title}}
on top.
If I comment out elasticsearch: "http://"localhost":9200",
I get Error Could not contact Elasticsearch at http://localhost:9200. Please ensure that Elasticsearch is reachable from your system.
If I also enter it as elasticsearch: "http://localhost:9200",
, I get the same error that it could not contact elasticsearch.
So, I am assuming elasticsearch: "http://"localhost":9200",
is right, but it should render something. perhaps a UI

You need to make sure the
elaticsearch_url
is set in your kibana config.vim /opt/kibana/config/kibana.yml
elasticsearch_url: "http://localhost:9200"
then restart:
sudo service kibana restart
