From 30dedef02790dd12e92ecbb98391adb354e5d108 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raimund Hook Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 13:28:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add First login steps back into Kibana doc Kolla-ansible version 4.0.0 contained the steps to follow when logging in to Kibana for the first time. These got deleted when the process was seemingly automated, but the relevant machinery no longer works. See [1] as well. Backport to Ussuri, Train, Stein (possibly more).
