Deploying Kibana

Deployment Planning

Deployment Process

1. Download and decompress the Kibana installation package.

   1 2	wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz tar -zxf kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

2. Set parameters.
   1. Open the configuration file.

      1	vi kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64/config/kibana.yml

   2. Press i to enter the insert mode and modify the parameters as required.

      server.port: 5601
      server.host: "0.0.0.0"
      elasticsearch.hosts: "http://IPaddress2:9200"
      kibana.index: ".kibana"

   3. Press Esc, type :wq!, and press Enter to save the file and exit.
3. Replace the node folder in kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64.
   1. Download the Node.js of the ARM64 version.

      1 2 3

      wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.2/node-v10.15.2-linux-arm64.tar.xz xz -d node-v10.15.2-linux-arm64.tar.xz tar -xvf node-v10.15.2-linux-arm64.tar

      

      Kibana provides only the Kibana installation package with Node.js for x86. Therefore, you need to download the ARM64 Node.js installation package by yourself and decompress it to overwrite the node folder generated after kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz is decompressed.

   2. Replace the node folder.

      1 2	rm -rf kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64/node//node mv node-v10.15.2-linux-arm64/* kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64/node/

4. Run Kibana.

   1	./kibana-6.7.0-linux-x86_64/bin/kibana

5. Enter the following URL in the address box of a browser to access the UI:

   http://IPaddress2:5601
