Kibana is an open-source data visualization and exploration tool that provides real-time analytics capabilities on top of the data stored in Elasticsearch. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Kibana on Kali Linux.
Download the latest version of Kibana from the following link:
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.15.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
After the download is complete, extract the tarball using the following command:
tar -xf kibana-7.15.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
By default, Kibana is configured to run on port 5601. If you want to change the default port, open the Kibana configuration file:
nano kibana-7.15.0-linux-x86_64/config/kibana.yml
Search for the following line:
#server.port: 5601
Uncomment it by removing # at the beginning and change it to a port of your choice. Save and close the file.
Start Kibana by running the following command:
./kibana-7.15.0-linux-x86_64/bin/kibana
Open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:5601/
You should see the Kibana welcome screen.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Kibana on Kali Linux. You can now start exploring your data using Kibana's powerful visualization and analysis capabilities.
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!
