Kibana returns “Connection Failed”

Question

I am trying to run ElasticSearch with Kibana in Windows 2008 R2.

I followed this article: Install-logstash-on-a-windows-server-with-kibana

Step by step, but all

Answer 1

In my case the problem was caused by the HTTP_PROXY environment variable being set and the proxy being down.

It's not the most obvious cause, and there is no obvious way from the error message that you would think to look at that.

Unsetting HTTP_PROXY and restarting Kibana did the trick.

Answer 2

I have faced similar kind of issue.

If you are using elasticsearch-1.4 with Kibana-3 then add following parameters in elasticsearch.yml file

http.cors.allow-origin: "/.*/"
http.cors.enabled: true
