== Accessing Kibana
|
|
|
|
Kibana is a web application that you access through port 5601. All you need to do is point your web browser at the
|
|
machine where Kibana is running and specify the port number. For example, `localhost:5601` or `http://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601`.
|
|
If you want to allow remote users to connect, set the parameter `server.host` in `kibana.yml` to a non-loopback address.
|
|
|
|
When you access Kibana, the <<discover,Discover>> page loads by default with the default index pattern selected. The
|
|
time filter is set to the last 15 minutes and the search query is set to match-all (\*).
|
|
|
|
If you don't see any documents, try setting the time filter to a wider time range.
|
|
If you still don't see any results, it's possible that you don't *have* any documents.

=== Checking Kibana Status
|
|
|
|
You can reach the Kibana server's status page by navigating to the status endpoint, for example, `localhost:5601/status`. The status page displays
|
|
information about the server's resource usage and lists the installed plugins.
