Launching Elastic Kibana - internal server 500 error - [illegal_argument_exception] application privileges must refer to at least one resource"}

Question

I launched Kibana in my Elastic Cloud account and see this message. Why can I not log in to my Kibana account? I restarted my deployment and see the same error.

If this is relevant, I should add that there is an issue with my Elastic Search. It is apparently "unhealthy".

However, when I launch the Elastic Search instance, I get an apparently healthy response.

Answer 1

If you stop the Kibana server and restart it, the default space document will be created.

Answer 2

You get this error if .kibana index gets deleted while Kibana is running. It seems something is removing your .kibana index, in my case it was Curator. Thus, I added these two lines in Curator's action_file.yml file under actions/1/filters:

---
actions:
  1:
    filters:
    - filtertype: kibana
      exclude: True
