Access

The fastest way to access Kibana is to use our hosted Elasticsearch Service. If you installed Kibana on your own, access Kibana through the web application.

Set up on cloud

There’s no faster way to get started than with Elastic Cloud:

  1. Get a free trial.
  2. Log into Elastic Cloud.
  3. Click Create deployment.
  4. Give your deployment a name.
  5. Click Create deployment and download the password for the elastic user.

That’s it! Now that you are up and running, it’s time to get some data into Kibana. Kibana will open as soon as your deployment is ready.

If you are using a self-managed deployment, access Kibana through the web application on port 5601.

  1. Point your web browser to the machine where you are running Kibana and specify the port number. For example, localhost:5601 or http://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601.

    To remotely connect to Kibana, set server.host to a non-loopback address.

  2. Log on to your account.

  3. Go to the home page, then click Kibana.

  4. To make the Kibana page your landing page, click Make this my landing page.
