I want to be able to access Kibana from outside.  
I tried to change the settings in the config file: server.host: pucli\_ip  
but it did not help.  
What parameter should be changed then?

Hi,

Can you ping the kibana server from your other machine where you are trying to access Kibana from?

Have you changed anything in kibana\config\kibana.yml such as the server.host setting? It should be "0.0.0.0" by default which means to listen on all interfaces.

Thanks  
Rashmi
