I have ELK stack setup on localhost. I recently installed apache web server on my Ubuntu and its working fine. I can access apache default page using my IP address. But I want to access Kibana using my IP address or hostname. Can someone please advise? ---

If you are on your localhost you would navigate to **localhost:5601** If you are on another system that can reach the kibana interface then you would simply use one of the following: **IP Address:5601** (i.e. 192.168.1.1:5601) OR **hostname:5601** (i.e. mycomputer:5601) Hope that helps! ---
