macOS Gatekeeper warnings
Apple’s rollout of stricter notarization requirements affected the notarization of the 7.9.1 Kibana artifacts. If macOS Catalina displays a dialog when you first run Kibana that interrupts it, you will need to take an action to allow it to run.
To prevent Gatekeeper checks on the Kibana files, run the following command on the downloaded .tar.gz archive or the directory to which was extracted:
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine <archive-or-directory>
Alternatively, you can add a security override if a Gatekeeper popup appears by following the instructions in the How to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer section of Safely open apps on your Mac.
The Darwin archive for Kibana v7.9.1 can be downloaded and installed as follows:

Run Kibana from the command line
Kibana can be started from the command line as follows:
./bin/kibana
By default, Kibana runs in the foreground, prints its logs to the standard output (stdout), and can be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C.
Configure Kibana via the config file
Kibana loads its configuration from the $KIBANA_HOME/config/kibana.yml file by default. The format of this config file is explained in Configuring Kibana.
Directory layout of .tar.gz archives
The .tar.gz packages are entirely self-contained. All files and directories are, by default, contained within $KIBANA_HOME — the directory created when unpacking the archive.
This is very convenient because you don’t have to create any directories to start using Kibana, and uninstalling Kibana is as easy as removing the $KIBANA_HOME directory. However, it is advisable to change the default locations of the config and data directories so that you do not delete important data later on.
| Type | Description | Default Location | Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
home | Kibana home directory or | Directory created by unpacking the archive | |
bin | Binary scripts including |
| |
config | Configuration files including |
| |
data | The location of the data files written to disk by Kibana and its plugins |
| |
optimize | Transpiled source code. Certain administrative actions (e.g. plugin install) result in the source code being retranspiled on the fly. |
| |
plugins | Plugin files location. Each plugin will be contained in a subdirectory. |
