i am using elasticsearch 6.0-beTa2 .After installing first time Kibana5.6 , I am getting below error

1. status is coming red and 2. Unable to connect to Elasticsearch at [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) error

here is my kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.

server.port: 5601

# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.

# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.

# to Kibana. This setting cannot end in a slash.

# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide

# is proxied through the Kibana server.

#elasticsearch.username: "user"

# Enables SSL and paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively.

# These settings enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.

# These files validate that your Elasticsearch backend uses the same key files.

#elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/client.crt  
#elasticsearch.ssl.key: /path/to/your/client.key

# Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the PEM file for the certificate

elasticsearch.yml

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================

# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:

# 

#[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): my-application

# 

# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for the node:

# 

#[node.name](http://node.name): node-1

# 

# Add custom attributes to the node:

# 

#node.attr.rack: r1

# 

# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------

# 

# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by com$

# 

path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch

# 

# Path to log files:

# 

path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

# 

# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------

# 

# Lock the memory on startup:

# 

#bootstrap.memory\_lock: true

# 

# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available

# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this

# limit.

# 

# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

# 

# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

# 

network.host: 10..20.30.11

# 

# Set a custom port for HTTP:

# 

http.port: 9200

# 

# For more information, consult the network module documentation.

# 

# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

# 

# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

#discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

## 

#discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

# 

# Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number $

# 

#discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 3

# 

# For more information, consult the zen discovery module documentation.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------

# 

# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:

# 

#gateway.recover\_after\_nodes: 3

# 

# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------

# 

# Require explicit names when deleting indices:

# 

#action.destructive\_requires\_name: true

You need to use Kibana 6.0.0-beta2 with Elasticsearch 6.0.0-beta2, not Kibana 5.6.2.
