How to Install Kibana on OpenSUSE Latest

Kibana is a data visualization and exploration tool that works together with Elasticsearch, Logstash, and other data-related tools. In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to install Kibana on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Downloading Kibana

First, open a terminal window and download the latest version of Kibana from the official Elastic website using the following command:

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-<VERSION>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Replace with the version you want to install. For example:

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.9.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Step 2: Extracting Kibana

Once the download is complete, extract the Kibana archive using the following command:

tar -xvzf kibana-<VERSION>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

This will extract the Kibana files into a directory called kibana-<VERSION>.

Step 3: Configuring Kibana

Open the kibana.yml configuration file using your favorite text editor:

nano kibana-<VERSION>/config/kibana.yml

Find the following line:

#server.host: "localhost"

Uncomment it by removing the # and set the IP address of your server or 0.0.0.0 to bind to all available network interfaces:

server.host: "0.0.0.0"

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Starting Kibana

Start Kibana by running the following command:

./kibana-<VERSION>/bin/kibana

This will start Kibana on port 5601.

Step 5: Accessing Kibana

To access Kibana, open a web browser and go to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5601.

If you're accessing Kibana from a remote machine, make sure to open port 5601 on your server's firewall.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kibana on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start exploring and visualizing your data with Kibana.
