Next, you need to configure Kibana. So, open the Kibana configuration file.
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
And, uncomment your server port and server host and give the IP address.
server.port: 5601 server.host: " 192.168.7.218"
In order to communicate with clusters enable and provide elastic search URL
elasticsearch.url: http://192.168.7.218:9200
Save and exit from it once it is done.
After that configuration, you need to start and enable Kibana application by running the following commands.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable kibana
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start kibana
Also, check if your Kibana is in LISTEN state.
[root@localhost ~]# netstat -plntu | grep LISTEN
.

.
tcp 0 0 192.168.7.218:5601 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2654/node
tcp6 0 0 192.168.7.218:9200 :::* LISTEN 2301/java
.
.
You can launch ElasticSearch. Type http://192.168.7.218:5601 in the browser. Kibana is getting loaded.
You can check the Management module.
Also, the Kibana dashboard looks like the one in the following image.
With this, the installation of Kibana comes to an end.
