How to Install Elasticsearch 5.2.0 on CentOS 7, RHEL
- Elasticsearch requires Java 8 or later, so lets install latest Java
How to install Java 8 latest update on CentOS
- Download and install the Elasticsearch Public Signing Key
sudo rpm --import http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
- Next create a file called “elasticsearch.repo” in “/etc/yum.repos.d/” directory
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
- Then add the following config into the repository created above
[elasticsearch-5.x] name=Elasticsearch repository for 5.x packages baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/yum gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch enabled=1 autorefresh=1 type=rpm-md
- Now install Elasticsearch
sudo yum install elasticsearch
- Next edit the configuration > locate “network.host:” and update to “network.host: localhost”
sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
- Start service and set it to auto run on boot up
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch status sudo chkconfig --levels 235 elasticsearch on
Install Kibana 5.2.0 on CentOS 7, RHEL
- Kibana also requires Java 8 or later, so I am assuming you had already done that when you installed Elasticsearch above
How to install Java 8 latest update on CentOS
- Download and install the Public Signing Key (Already done from above)
sudo rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
- Next create a file called “kibana.repo” in “/etc/yum.repos.d/” directory
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kibana.repo
- Then add the following config into the repository created above
[kibana-5.x] name=Kibana repository for 5.x packages baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/yum gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch enabled=1 autorefresh=1 type=rpm-md
- Now install kibana
sudo yum install kibana
- Confirm you can Stop and Start Kibana
sudo -i service kibana stop sudo -i service kibana start
- Check if you are running Systemd or SysV init
ps -p 1
- Configure Kibana to start automatically when system reboots.
- For SysV init -
sudo chkconfig --add kibana sudo -i service kibana stop sudo -i service kibana start
- For systemd -
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload sudo /bin/systemctl enable kibana.service sudo systemctl stop kibana.service sudo systemctl start kibana.service
- Now all you need to do is access your kibana page with following URL:
http://localhost:5601
You can install nginx and configure it to act as a proxy server. This would enable you access kibana via port 80
