Installation

No templates to apply, no SQL files to import.

We tried to keep this simple. You've already setup and tuned Logstash and Elasticsearch, this is the easy part. Kibana really only requires a browser and ruby.

1. Download @github

Or head over to the Github project page

Github Project Page »

2. Setup a few things

You've made it this far. I'm going to bet you know how to:

  1. Extract your archive
  2. Open KibanaConfig.rb in your favorite editor
  3. Set Elasticsearch = "localhost:9200" to your ElasticSearch server
  4. Run gem install bundler
  5. Run bundle install
Compatibility Ruby 1.8.7? Ruby 1.9.3? No worries, its all good, we support either.

3. Run that was easy

Run ruby kibana.rb

And you're done!

Point your web browser at
http://localhost:5601

About Kibana »

A more complex architecture

Kibana is powerful, but its just one of many tools that can fit into an even more powerful metrics and analysis infrastructure. See a complete metrics infrastructure »

On Windows?

Kibana is usually run on a UNIX-alike system, but wibaa was kind enough to tap out a Windows installation guide on the Kibana wiki @ github.
