Try It Out
In this example we will deploy Kibana on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus Kibana Advanced Helm chart. Kibana will be configured to connect to an Elasticsearch cluster with hardened security settings.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns kibana-advanced
Step 3: Configure Elasticsearch Connection
Before deploying Kibana, ensure you have an Elasticsearch cluster running and accessible. Update the values.yaml file to configure the Elasticsearch connection:
kibana:
elasticsearch:
hosts:
- your-elasticsearch-service:9200
port: 9200
protocol: http
If your Elasticsearch cluster requires authentication, configure it using extraEnvVars or extraEnvVarsSecret in the values file.
Step 4: Save Values File Locally
Go to the Values tab and save a copy of it locally. You will need to add the flag -f values.yaml to override the defaults when you deploy the chart in the next step.
Step 5: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart with the values.yaml file you saved in the previous step.
Run the following command:
helm install my-kibana-advanced oci://helm.mini.dev/kibana-advanced \
--version 0.1.0 \
--version 0.1.0 \
-f values.yaml \
-n kibana-advanced
Step 6: Verify Kibana is Running
To check that the pod was successfully created run:
kubectl get pods -n kibana-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kibana
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-kibana-advanced-0 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 7: Access Kibana
This verifies Kibana is actually working and accessible.
Connect to Kibana using port-forward:
kubectl port-forward svc/my-kibana-advanced 5601:5601 -n kibana-advanced
In another terminal or web browser, navigate to:
You should see the Kibana login page or dashboard. If you see the Kibana interface, the deployment is fully operational.
Step 8: Cleanup
To clean up the deployment:
helm uninstall my-kibana-advanced -n kibana-advanced
kubectl delete namespace kibana-advanced
