Using Kibana after shield license expired

1.3k views Asked by At

Is there a way to use Kibana 4 after shield license expired?

After read shield documentation, I see the next paragraph:

When the license for Shield is expired, Shield will block requests to the cluster health, cluster stats, and index stats APIs. Calls to these APIs will fail with a LicenseExpiredException, and will return HTTP status code 401. By disabling only these APIs, any automated cluster monitoring should detect the license failure, while users of the cluster should not be immediately impacted. It is not recommended to run for any length of time with a disabled Shield license; cluster health and stats APIs are critical for monitoring and management of an Elasticsearch cluster.

What are the steps to disable in Kibana 4 the health and stats APIs for monitoring? I only need to access data of the index...

Thanks

Shield is a commercial plugin, so you should buy a license. Please see https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions for more details.
