Kibana 简明教程

Kibana - Environment Setup

To start working with Kibana we need to install Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana. In this chapter, we will try to understand the installation of the ELK stack here.

We would discuss the following installations here −

  1. Elasticsearch Installation

  2. Logstash Installation

  3. Kibana Installation

Elasticsearch Installation

A detailed documentation on Elasticsearch exists in our library. You can check here for elasticsearch installation. You will have to follow the steps mentioned in the tutorial to install Elasticsearch.

Once done with the installation, start the elasticsearch server as follows −

Step 1

For Windows

> cd kibanaproject/elasticsearch-6.5.4/elasticsearch-6.5.4/bin
> elasticsearch

Please note for windows user, the JAVA_HOME variable has to be set to the java jdk path.

For Linux

$ cd kibanaproject/elasticsearch-6.5.4/elasticsearch-6.5.4/bin
$ elasticsearch
elasticsearch installation

The default port for elasticsearch is 9200. Once done, you can check the elasticsearch at port 9200 on localhost http://localhost:9200/as shown below −

elasticsearch default port
elasticsearch localhost

Logstash Installation

For Logstash installation, follow this elasticsearch installation which is already existing in our library.

Kibana Installation

In this tutorial, we are going to use Kibana version 6. The download option is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download as per your choice.

Create a folder and unpack the tar/zip downloads for kibana. We are going to work with sample data uploaded in elasticsearch. Thus, for now let us see how to start elasticsearch and kibana. For this, go to the folder where Kibana is unpacked.

For Windows

> cd kibanaproject/kibana-6.5.4/kibana-6.5.4/bin
> kibana

For Linux

$ cd kibanaproject/kibana-6.5.4/kibana-6.5.4/bin
$ kibana

Kibana 启动后，用户可以看到以下屏幕 −

kibana starts

一旦在控制台中看到准备信号，您就可以使用 http://localhost:5601/ 在浏览器中打开 Kibana。Kibana 可用的默认端口为 5601。

Kibana 的用户界面如下图所示 −

在下一章中，我们将学习如何使用 Kibana 的 UI。要了解 Kibana UI 上的 Kibana 版本，请转到左侧的“管理”选项卡，它将显示我们当前使用的 Kibana 版本。
