Some errors and warnings are there but later they get changed to info.. And also if you see the above kibana screenshot it shows elastic search 6.5.1 status changed from red to green - ready ---

What do you see if you point your browser to `localhost:9200`? ---

It cannot connect when I point to localhost :9200 Also I don't understand why kibana appears as shown above(not loading fully ) when I point to localhost:5601 ---

I don't know either. It looks odd. Can you show us what is in the Elasticsearch logs? Can you share your Kibana and Elasticsearch config? ---

I do not see anything wrong there. Do you have any firewall rules that prevent access? ---
