I have elasticsearch and kibana running on the same node in a swarm, connected to the same docker network.
From the node (host machine), I can `curl https://elasticsearch:9200` and I get a response.
From inside the kibana container, when I run it, I get the following:
> bash-4.2$ curl [https://elasticsearch:9200](https://elasticsearch:9200)
> curl: (7) Failed connect to elasticsearch:9200; Connection refused
This is the cause of kibana not being able to connect to elasticsearch:
> {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-04-17T19:21:44Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":6,"message":"Unable to revive connection: [https://elasticsearch:9200/](https://elasticsearch:9200/)"}
> {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-04-17T19:21:44Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":6,"message":"No living connections"}
Why can I not curl from kibana to elasticsearch?

Changing the hostname to kibana in the kibana container solved the curl issue.
