External Elasticsearch

Kibana dashboard does not work after configuring external Elasticsearch.

Kibana dashboard is not working after configuring external Elasticsearch.

Resolution:

Set the apigw.kibana.autostart setting in the uiconfiguration.properties file to false.
This step prevents the Elasticsearch configuration being reset to localhost.
In the kibana.yml file found in the SAGInstallDir\profiles\IS_default\apigateway\dashboard\config location, update the following field to the corresponding external Elasticsearch URL:
```
elasticsearch.hosts: "http://localhost:9240"
```
Replace localhost with the system name or IP address where Elasticsearch is running and 9240 with the corresponding Elasticsearch port number.
In the uiconfiguration.properties file found in the SAGInstallDir\profiles\IS_default\apigateway\config folder, provide the same external Elasticsearch URL in the following field:
```
apigw.es.url=http://localhost:11140
```
This must be same as the value provided in the previous step.
Start Kibana by running the kibana.bat (Windows) or kibana.sh (Linux) file from the following location: SAGInstallLocation\profiles\IS_default\apigateway\dashboard\bin.
Note: As the Kibana autostart is disabled in the first step, you must start Kibana manually everytime.

Alternative resolution:

You can externalize the external Elasticsearch and Kibana configurations. For information on externalizing, see Externalizing Configurations.
