Update the Elasticsearch URL for Kibana

Kibana connects to a single Elasticsearch node to read logs. In the event that Kibana is unable to read logs due to the failure of an Elasticsearch node, configure Kibana to connect to an available Elasticsearch node.

About this task

NOTE
The Elasticsearch node that Kibana connects to by default is determined by the first Elasticsearch node that was specified when the cluster was configured to use Monitoring

Procedure

  1. Open /opt/mapr/kibana/kibana-<version>/config/kibana.yml.
  2. Update the elasticsearch.url parameter to point to an available Elasticsearch node.
    TIP
    If you want to configure Kibana to work even if the Elasticsearch node is unavailable, see the Kibana documentation for the steps to configure Kibana to load balance across multiple Elasticsearch nodes.
