Deploy a Kibana instance
editDeploy a Kibana instance
editTo deploy your Kibana instance go through the following steps.
-
Specify a Kibana instance and associate it with your Elasticsearch cluster:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1 kind: Kibana metadata: name: quickstart spec: version: 8.15.1 count: 1 elasticsearchRef: name: quickstart EOF
-
Monitor Kibana health and creation progress.
Similar to Elasticsearch, you can retrieve details about Kibana instances:
kubectl get kibana
And the associated Pods:
kubectl get pod --selector='kibana.k8s.elastic.co/name=quickstart'
-
Access Kibana.
A
ClusterIP
Service is automatically created for Kibana:kubectl get service quickstart-kb-http
Use
kubectl port-forward
to access Kibana from your local workstation:kubectl port-forward service/quickstart-kb-http 5601
