Description of problem: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/version-8/red-hat-openstack-platform-operational-tools End of Chapter 2: "You should now be able to access Kibana running at http://$FQDN_OF_LOGGING_SERVER/ and see logs start to populate. " Except that you don't. With first access, you see the default Kibana page. To use the logstash dashboard, you have to click on the 'here' link: http://192.168.100.142/index.html#dashboard/file/logstash.json Otherwise, you need to design your own dashboard. Actual results: Default Kibana dashboard with Kibana branding, and no stats. Expected results: RH OpenStack dashboard with 'logs starting to populate'. (Until this happens, when it's no longer tech preview?, we at least need to tell readers where to go and what to expect.)
Hi Summer, Thank you for raising this bug. Now assigning this bug to Radek for review. Kind regards, Andrew
Yeah, right. The page reads: === Did you just upgrade? Not expecting this screen? If you were using the old default page you might not be expecting this screen. I understand, change can be awkward. Let me explain. Setting a global default dashboard Kibana has always shipped with an interface for Logstash, still does! You can access it here. However, if you want to make it your default again, all you need to do is rename a file! In your Kibana installation directory: Rename logstash.json to default.json and refresh. Should be all set. === So there are two options: change the URL to open, or add a penultimate step in which the user will be instructed to rename the file.
Perfect, except for 'sadditional' :) You might have them keep the originals just in case: cp /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json.orig cp /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/logstash.json /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json
(In reply to Summer Long from comment #5) > Perfect, except for 'sadditional' :) I noticed that, too, and already fixed that. (That's what happens when you move words around in vim using p/P and fail to check where the words were actually pasted. :) ) > You might have them keep the originals just in case: > cp /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json > /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json.orig > cp /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/logstash.json > /usr/share/kibana/app/dashboards/default.json Good point. I'll add that. Thanks!
