== Using Kibana with Tribe nodes
|
|
|
|
Kibana can be configured to connect to a https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-tribe.html[tribe node] for data retrieval. Because tribe nodes can't create indices, Kibana additionally
|
|
requires a separate connection to a node to maintain state. When configured, searches and visualizations will retrieve data using
|
|
the tribe node and administrative actions (such as saving a dashboard) will be sent to non-tribe node.

=== Configuring Kibana for tribe nodes
|
|
|
|
Tribe nodes take all of the same configuration options used when configuring elasticsearch in `kibana.yml`. Tribe options
|
|
are prefixed with `elasticsearch.tribe` and at a minimum requires a url:
|
|
[source,text]
|
|
----
|
|
elasticsearch.url: "<your_administration_node>"
|
|
elasticsearch.tribe.url: "<your_tribe_node>"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
When configured to use a tribe node, actions that modify Kibana's state will be sent to the node at `elasticsearch.url`. Searches and visualizations
|
|
will retrieve data from the node at `elasticsearch.tribe.url`. It's acceptable to use a node for `elasticsearch.url` that is part of one of the clusters that
|
|
a tribe node is pointing to.
|
|
|
|
The full list of configurations can be found at <<settings>>.

[[tribe-limitations]]
|
|
=== Limitations
|
|
|
|
Due to the ambiguity of which cluster is being used, certain features are disabled in Kibana:
|
|
|
|
* Console
|
|
* Managing users and roles with the x-pack plugin
