Hello,

Do you have any messages in your /var/log/syslog related to kibana when you start kibana.service ?

Output of cat /var/log/syslog | grep kibana and journalctl -xe | grep kibana are empty.

And output of kibana service

Ok, your log message seems truncated right ?

  • Is your kibana web UI worked before installing wazuh ? (did you test it step by step)

Did you check in your kibana.yml file theses settings :

  • elasticsearch.hosts <= adress that kibana use to connect to ES
  • server.host <= bind address for the WebUI

You could make some tests with these command to ensure that you have access :

curl -XGET https://localhost:9200 -u admin:admin --insecure

Might your kibana doesn’t have access to elasticsearch database ?

In my side, if my Kibana can’t connect to ES database it display the same message you gave us.

Almost every problem with “kinana not ready yet” is tied to .kibana* indices - check the latest of them and where .kibana alias points to. In need be try to switch that alias to the latest or previous index.

It seems the wazuh app was causing the problem. I fixed in by reinstalling the correct version
