<p>I'm following the  <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/logging-elasticsearch/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">k8s logging instructions</a> on how to configure cluster level logging. I'm using <a href="https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes/releases" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kube-aws cli Tool</a> to configure the cluster, and I can't seem to find a way to make it work.
I've tried setting the env vars as they mentioned in the k8s logging guide (KUBE_ENABLE_NODE_LOGGING and KUBE_LOGGING_DESTINATION) before running <code>kube-aws up</code> but that didn't seem to change anything.</p>
<p>After that, I've tried running the es and kibana rc's and services manually by taking them from the <strong>cluster/addons/fluentd-elasticsearch</strong> directory on k8s github repo, but that ran only those specific services and not the <strong>fluentd-elasticsearch</strong> service which supposed to run also by the tutorial example.</p>
<p>running <code>kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system</code> returns the following:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/acR1k.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/acR1k.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>where we can see that the <code>fluentd-elasticsearch-kubernetes-node</code> is missing.</p>
<p>Also tried connecting to the cluster but failed with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>unauthorized</p>
</blockquote>
<p>following the <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/logging-elasticsearch/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">k8s logging instructions</a> and running the command <code>kubectl config view</code> didn't return any username and password, and when tried accessing the es url, I didn't get any dialog with asking for username and password. Not sure if it related to the first issue.</p>
<p>Not sure what I'm missing here.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>So it seems that there is no support for this on <strong>kube-aws</strong> currently, quoting one of the authors:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>We are currently working on a kube-was distribution for this approach that includes Kibana for visualizing the elastic search data.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Also a suggested <strong>workaround</strong> appears in this issue page including extra details regarding it's status: <a href="https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes/issues/320" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes/issues/320</a></p>
