[vivek-mcafee]

After installing the kibana-time-plugin and then restarting. The kibana dashboard doesn't comes up. Its stuck forever with the following message:

"Optimizing and caching bundles for kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, timelion and status_page. This may take a few minutes"

I am using kibana 5.6.3. I followed the instruction from Readme file and the installed it.
After bower install
I changed the package.json file to

{

}

i am using kibana 6.0.0 and i have the same problem too.
Stuck for longtime then close immediately.
Any update?

[nreese]

Try adding NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8000 to NODE_OPTIONS

[hanzohan]

@nreese any idea where i should put node options ?

[hanzohan]

@nreese i was adding node options in kibana-plugin.bat but still kibana's cmd crash after caching bundles.

[conmurray]

Im also experiencing the exact same issue. Has anyone got a solution?

[nreese]

what version of node are you using? Are you using the version defined in <KIBANA_HOPME>.node_version?

Hi Nathan,
Im on Ubuntu 16.04

So I was upgrading from 5.2.2 to 5.6.8 and so removed the plugin without issues just to be on the safe side.
It was working fine with 5.2.2 understandibly.
I upgraded Elasticsearch, logstash and Kibana and made sure these guys were all working a-ok.

Then did a git clone of the plugin and git checkout 5.5 as per instructions. Didn't appear to have any issues installing with bower albeit I do use sudo bower install --allow-root which is what I did last time.
I updated the package.json to 5.6.8.

It seems to all go swimmingly and then did a sudo systemctl restart kibana.
It looked fine but I saw the log in journalctl and couldnt connect.

I've got VM snapshots so can retry things but its odd. Im currently moving toward 6.2 anyways but this is a really useful plugin so fair play to you.

Ok coming back to this again.. I redid my steps and have attached my screenshots for anyone..
visual_Steps_For_5.6.8.docx

Seems I was impatient as Kibana was still optimizing things.

Working now.

Cannot believe I need wait one hour, and cannot believe finally it works after 1 hour!
What a patient people I should be, and what an aaaamazing software it is.

[ep4sh]

Had the same output with restart kibana by timeout.
Then checked up version of Elasticsearch and Kibana version (kibana was newer).
After installed older version kibana - works fine.

I am wondering if this is now solved with 6.6 release?
