I just stood up a 3 node elastic search cluster (3 nodes are masters and data nodes) and a 4th node that has elasticsearch/kibana on it but the elasticsearch instance on that node has node.master: false, node.data: false, node.ingest: false so that it acts as the load balancer. When I launch kibana, I get this in the console:
log [19:04:18.112] [info][status][plugin:kibana@5.2.1] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready
log [19:04:18.175] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.2.1] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch
log [19:04:18.203] [info][status][plugin:console@5.2.1] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready
log [19:04:18.224] [error][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.2.1] Status changed from yellow to red - Elasticsearch is still initializing the kibana index.
