💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'stop' instead of 'start' will stop the service.

Using 'status' only shows the service status, not start it.

To start the Kibana service, you use systemctl start kibana.service.

Complete the URL to access Kibana on localhost with default port.

Elasticsearch

http://localhost:[1]

A5601

B9200

C8080

D443

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 9200 which is Elasticsearch's port.

Using 8080 or 443 which are common web ports but not Kibana's default.

Kibana runs on port 5601 by default, so the URL is http://localhost:5601.

hard

Fix the error in the Kibana configuration file to set the Elasticsearch URL correctly.

Elasticsearch

elasticsearch.hosts: ["[1]"]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ahttp://localhost:5601

Bhttps://localhost:9200

Chttp://localhost:9200

Dhttps://localhost:5601

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting the URL to Kibana's port 5601 instead of Elasticsearch's 9200.

Using https without proper certificates.

The elasticsearch.hosts setting must point to the Elasticsearch server, which runs on port 9200, not Kibana's port 5601.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to configure Kibana to listen on all network interfaces and enable the server.

Elasticsearch

server.host: "[1]"
kibana.enabled: [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A0.0.0.0

Btrue

Cfalse

D127.0.0.1

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 127.0.0.1 limits Kibana to localhost only.

Setting enabled to false disables Kibana.

Setting server.host to 0.0.0.0 makes Kibana listen on all interfaces. Setting kibana.enabled to true enables the server.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a basic Kibana index pattern configuration in YAML.

Elasticsearch

index_patterns:
  - [1]
  - [2]
  - [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A"logstash-*"

B"metrics-*"

C"filebeat-*"

D"kibana-*"

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'kibana-*' which is not a typical data index pattern.

Forgetting the quotes around patterns.

Common index patterns for Kibana include logstash-*, metrics-*, and filebeat-*. These allow Kibana to find data from different sources.
