This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added. This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.

=== Install Kibana with Debian Package
|
|
|
|
The Debian package for Kibana can be <<install-deb,downloaded from our website>>
|
|
or from our <<deb-repo,APT repository>>. It can be used to install
|
|
Kibana on any Debian-based system such as Debian and Ubuntu.
|
|
|

The latest stable version of Kibana can be found on the
|
|
link:/downloads/kibana[Download Kibana] page. Other versions can
|
|

You may need to install the `apt-transport-https` package on Debian before proceeding:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Save the repository definition to +/etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list+:
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="released"]
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}-prerelease/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list

[WARNING]
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
Do not use `add-apt-repository` as it will add a `deb-src` entry as well, but
|
|
we do not provide a source package. If you have added the `deb-src` entry, you
|
|
will see an error like the following:
|
|
|
|
Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file
|
|
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
|
|
|
|
Delete the `deb-src` entry from the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file and the
|
|
installation should work as expected.
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
You can install the Kibana Debian package with:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kibana
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[WARNING]
|
|
==================================================
|
|
If two entries exist for the same Kibana repository, you will see an error like this during `apt-get update`:
|
|
|
|
["literal",subs="attributes,callouts"]
|
|
|
|
Duplicate sources.list entry https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}/apt/ ...`
|
|
|
|
Examine +/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kibana-{major-version}.list+ for the duplicate entry or locate the duplicate entry amongst the files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` and the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file.
|
|
==================================================

[[install-deb]]
|
|
==== Download and install the Debian package manually
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
|
|
|
|
Version {version} of Kibana has not yet been released.
|
|
|
|

|
The Debian package for Kibana v{version} can be downloaded from the website and installed as follows:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-{version}.deb
|
|
sha1sum kibana-{version}.deb <1>
|
|
sudo dpkg -i kibana-{version}.deb
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> Compare the SHA produced by `sha1sum` or `shasum` with the
|
|
https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-{version}.deb.sha1[published SHA].
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
[[deb-running-init]]
|
|
==== Running Kibana with SysV `init`
|
|
|
|
Use the `update-rc.d` command to configure Kibana to start automatically
|
|
when the system boots up:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo update-rc.d kibana defaults 95 10
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Kibana can be started and stopped using the `service` command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
sudo -i service kibana start
|
|
sudo -i service kibana stop
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If Kibana fails to start for any reason, it will print the reason for
|
|
failure to STDOUT. Log files can be found in `/var/log/kibana/`.

[[deb-configuring]]
|
|
==== Configuring Kibana
|
|
|
|
Kibana loads its configuration from the `/etc/kibana/kibana.yml`
|
|
file by default. The format of this config file is explained in
|
|
<<settings>>.
|
|
|
|
[[deb-layout]]
|
|
==== Directory layout of Debian package
|
|
|
|
The Debian package places config files, logs, and the data directory in the appropriate
|
|
locations for a Debian-based system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m,<m",options="header",]
