Kibana Reporting Max Attempts reached (3) error

Kibana Reporting Max Attempts reached (3) error

Kibana is an open source data visualization plugin for Elasticsearch. It provides visualization capabilities on top of the content indexed on an Elasticsearch cluster. Users can create bar, line and scatter plots, or pie charts and maps on top of large volumes of data.

In General When you are trying to create a report for a large data set the Kibana gets timeout waiting for the data from Elasticsearch. The solution is fairly simple. We need to increase the Kibana timeout value for Kibana.

Edit the file "/etc/kibana/kibana.yml" and add these entry :

xpack.reporting.queue.timeout: <timeout value>
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.port: 80
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.protocol: http
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.hostname: <Kibana Server IP>

Now restart the kibana services.

systemctl restart kibana

Cheers. Kibana reporting should work now.
