kibana not able to connect to server elasticsearch index - ECONNREFUSED

Question

I have elasticsearch server running having indexes, say server XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200.

I have index in the server ES cluster XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200 for which I am trying to create dashboards in my localhost:5601 (Kibana)

In my kibana.yml I have this configuration:

server.port: 5601
server.host: "localhost"

# The URL of the Elasticsearch instance to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch.url: "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200"

In Elasticsearch.yml I have this config:

network.host: 0.0.0.0 (to accept all the IPs) 
http.port: 9200

But I am getting this error when running kibana.yml :

connect ECONNREFUSED http://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200 Unable to connect to ElasticSearch at http://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200

Can anyone tell me where am I doing wrong here to get the kibana up and running with the server index of ES?

Answer 1

In your kibana.yml put this configuration:

server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
