Installation

Get Kibana

Download the latest version of Kibana: http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/kibana/installation/

By the time of this writting, latest release is v3.1.2


cd /opt
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/kibana/kibana/kibana-3.1.2.zip
unzip kibana-3.1.2.zip
rm kibana-3.1.2.zip
ln -s /opt/kibana-3.1.2 /opt/kibana


Kibana root configuration

Set the "elasticSearch" URL.

cp /opt/kibana/config.js /opt/kibana/config.js.backup
vim /opt/kibana/config.js


Adjust and replace elasticSearch value, ~ line 32.

elasticsearch: "http://192.168.1.203:9200",


!!! IMPORTANT !!! The elasticsearch URL must match what you set in ElasticSearch#Configuration as 'http.cors.allow-origin' !!!


Apache2 configuration

Either you create a new configuration or your update a VirtualHost configuration. Like Zabbix does, I chose to use a configuration for kibana rather than a VHost change.

cd /etc/apache2/conf-available
vim kibana.conf


Put the following content:

# Kibana application
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
    Alias /kibana /opt/kibana
</IfModule>

<Directory "/opt/kibana">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted

    php_value max_execution_time 300
    php_value memory_limit 128M
    php_value post_max_size 16M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
    php_value max_input_time 300
    php_value date.timezone Europe/Stockholm
</Directory>


Enable Apache2 configuration:

a2enconf kibana
service apache2 reload


Access the Kibana web page on http://192.168.1.203/kibana



Test installation (1st run)

Source: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/kibana/current/using-kibana-for-the-first-time.html


Create fake data

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/shakespeare -d '
{
 "mappings" : {
  "_default_" : {
   "properties" : {
    "speaker" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed" },
    "play_name" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed" },
    "line_id" : { "type" : "integer" },
    "speech_number" : { "type" : "integer" }
   }
  }
 }
}
';

wget http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/kibana/current/snippets/shakespeare.json

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @shakespeare.json



Dashboard settings

You can init the dashboard configuration from default logstash settings:

cd /opt/kibana/app/dashboard
cp default.json default.json.backup
cp logstash.json default.json


If you haven't configure Logstash yet you should see an empty page! :-)
