Kibana is an open source data visualization tool that allows you to interact with your Elasticsearch data. It provides real-time insights into your data by creating visualizations such as charts, graphs, and maps. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kibana on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, you need the following:
Before you install Kibana, you need to configure the yum repository on your Fedora Server Latest. To do this, type the following commands:
sudo rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
Create the yum repository file:
sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/kibana.repo
Add the following content to the file:
[kibana-7.x]
name=Kibana repository for 7.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
Save and exit the file.
To install Kibana, run the following command:
sudo dnf install kibana
This command will install Kibana on your system.
Before you start Kibana, you need to configure it. To do this, open the Kibana configuration file:
sudo vim /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
In this file, you can configure different options, such as server.host, server.port, and elasticsearch.hosts.
Make sure to uncomment the server.host line and set it to 0.0.0.0 to allow access from any IP address:
server.host: 0.0.0.0
Save and exit the file.
To start Kibana, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start kibana
This command will start the Kibana service.
To check the status of the service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status kibana
This command will show you whether the service is running or not.
You can now access Kibana by navigating to http://your-server-ip:5601 in a web browser. You will see the Kibana home page, where you can start creating visualizations and dashboards.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Kibana on Fedora Server Latest. We also showed you how to configure Kibana and start the service. Now you can use Kibana to visualize your Elasticsearch data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
