On Ubuntu 18 I have installed elasticsearch and kibana on my pc as a service. Also, installed minikube (using kvm2 driver). I was following the tutorials on kubernetes (Add logging and metrics to the PHP / Redis Guestbook example), and I couldn't connect to my external hosted elasticsearch & kibana.
How to configure elasticsearch/kibana & kube-state-metrics in minikube?
First must bind elasticsearch & kibana to the specific host ip that minikube "can see".
Get the ip:
minikube ssh "route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{ print \$2 }'"In my case it returns 192.168.122.1
Update elastic & kibana configuration & restart:
sudo nano /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
network.host: 192.168.122.1
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1","node-2"]
sudo nano /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
server.host: 192.168.122.1
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://192.168.122.1:9200"]
sudo systemctl restart elasticsearch.service
sudo systemctl restart kibana.serviceVerify servers are running:
curl 192.168.122.1:9200
curl 192.168.122.1:5601
curl 192.168.122.1:5601/api/status
sudo journalctl -u kibana
sudo journalctl -u elasticsearch
Verify conectivity from inside minikube:
minikube ssh

$ curl 192.168.122.1:9200
$ curl 192.168.122.1:5601/api/statusNow we just need to use this ip in the kubernetes secret configuration kubernetes secret configuration for filebeat:
ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS

"192.168.122.1:5601"
