not getting kibana gui outside kubernetes

3/5/2019

I have created kops cluster and elasticsearch logging as below.

kops create cluster --zones ap-southeast-1a,ap-southeast-1b,ap-southeast-1c --topology private --networking calico --master-size t2.micro --master-count 3 --node-size t2.micro --node-count 2 --cloud-labels "Project=Kubernetes,Team=Devops" ${NAME} --ssh-public-key /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --yes

https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/addons/logging-elasticsearch/v1.7.0.yaml

then some important cluster information.

root@ubuntu:~# kubectl get services -n kube-system
NAME                    TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)         AGE

This is happening because it takes some time to find optimal setup of ELK. If you check log of kibana-logging container, you will see these output:

$ kubectl -n kube-system logs -f kibana-logging-8675b4ffd-75rzd
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-03-21T09:11:30Z","tags":["info","optimize"],"pid":1,"message":"Optimizing and caching bundles for graph, ml, kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, timelion and status_page. This may take a few minutes"}

You need to wait around 1h, then service will be available and you will able access kibana ui.
