Logstash 1.4.2 running in "node" mode stops Kibana 4 from working

[KhaoticMind]

Tried running Kibana 4 on a local machine with ES 1.4.0.Beta1 and using Logstash 1.4.2 to push some events to it. Kibana stoped working.

I believe this is the case because LS register itself as a Node and Kibana checks if all nodes are on 1.4.0.Beta1.

There is any solution on this? If I run LS in transport mode all is fine.

Dunno if this is a bug, a feature request or just a "wait for LS 1.5 with Kibana 4" issue...

For short term I would try changing the requirement in index.js src/kibana/index.js and see if you still have issues

Hi, Kibana 4 requires that all nodes in the cluster meet the minimum version requirements.

If you're using logstash the work around is to use the elasticsearch-http output in Logstash.

@kkirsche You mention changing the requirements in the index.js file. How can I do that since the release is just a jar. Are there instructions on building Kibana 4 from source somewhere?

[kkirsche]

Ah. Sorry. I was using a clone of the github source. I'm not familiar with building it into a jar from source. I will say that you can get Kibana up and running by cloning the repo, then going into src/server/README.md and following the instructions to get the server up. Check out pull request #1538 for two commands that were missing that are necessary to go from cloned to running. Hope that helps @bradvido
