Setup Kibana¶

This section describes how to setup Kibana to be used in GeoNetwork to visualize the search/content statistics:

Download Kibana from http://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/. For Geonetwork 3.8.x version 7.2.x is recommended.
Unzip the file, for example to /opt/kibana
Configure Kibana to use it in GeoNetwork:

$ cd opt/kibana
$ vi config/kibana.yml
    server.basePath: "/geonetwork/dashboards"
    kibana.index: “.dashboards"

$ cd /opt/kibana/bin
$ ./kibana &

Note

Usually you’ll want to configure Kibana to start automatically when the server is startup, this is not covered in this guide.

Verify in a browser that Kibana is running: http://localhost:5601/app/kibana
Kibana should also be visible in Geonetwork at http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/dashboards

Load Kibana data¶

Visit Kibana in a browser using one of the above links and go to ‘Saved Objects’.
