How to setup more than two Kibana instances for a single es cluster


As Kibana is the webUI for elasticsearch, it is better make it high availability. After reading the doc and make a demo, i can not find a way to set up two Kibana instances simultaneously for a single Elasticsearch cluster.


Solution

  • After some deep leaning about Kibana, i finally find that Kibana will store its data and configuration about dashboard and searches in the backend ES. This way Kibana is just like a proxy and ES serves as the DataBase for it.

    So, the answer is yes. Kibana supports High Availability through ES.
