Yes, you heard that right. It’s simpler than you think, and it’s going to save you a ton of time. Let’s dive into how you can set this up and make your workflow automation a breeze.
Setting Up Your Kibana Credentials for n8n Authentication
Alright, let’s get down to business. To use Kibana credentials for authentication in n8n, you’ll need three key pieces of information: the Kibana URL, a username, and a password. This setup is essential for anyone looking to streamline their workflow automation with Kibana. So, are you ready to make your life easier? Let’s break it down.
Prerequisites for Kibana Credentials Setup
Before we jump in, there are a couple of things you need to do. First off, you’ve got to create an account. It’s the basic step, but it’s crucial. If you’re creating a new account just to test things out, go ahead and load some sample data into Kibana. This will help you see how everything works in real-time. For more information on this, check out the Kibana getting started guide.
Supported Authentication Methods
Now, when it comes to authentication, Kibana supports basic auth. It’s straightforward and gets the job done. No need to complicate things with fancy methods when the basics work just fine.
Using Basic Auth with Kibana Credentials
Here’s where the rubber meets the road. To configure this credential, you’ll need:
- The URL you use to access Kibana, for example, http://localhost:5601.
- A Username: Use the same username that you use to log in to Elastic.
- A Password: Use the same password that you use to log in to Elastic.
See? It’s not rocket science. You can use these credentials to authenticate when using the Kibana node to make a request. It’s as simple as that.

And if you want to learn more about how this works within n8n, this is a credential-only node. You can refer to the n8n documentation to get all the details.
