Elasticsearch is still initializing the kibana index

When I am trying to start Kibana I am facing the following issue. I first restarted my elasticsearch server it was running successfully. After starting Elasticsearch I tried to start Kibana but no luck.

{"name":"Kibana","hostname":"ABCD","pid":3848,"level":30,"msg":"Elasticsearch is still initializing the kibana index... Trying again in 2.5 second.","time":"2015-07-03T07:35:34.936Z","v":0}

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Warning: Removing .kibana index will make you lose all your kibana settings (indexes, graphs, dashboards)

    This behavior is sometimes caused by an existing .kibana index. Kindly delete the .kibana index in elasticsearch using following command:

    curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/.kibana

    After deleting the index, restart Kibana.

    If the problem still persists, and you are willing to lose any existing data, you can try deleting all indexes using following command:

    curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/*

    Followed by restarting Kibana.

    Note: localhost:9200 is the elasticsearch server's host:port, which may be different in your case.
