Hi All,
We are trying to evaluate Elastic Stack and I am having an issue getting to the management console in Kibana. I am following the getting started guide which says to install ElasticSearch first then Kibana. I have done both of those but I cannot connect to the Kibana instance that is running. I took a packet capture and it is showing TCP resets for some reason so the traffic is reaching the server. I have linked to the logs below. Anyone know why I can't connect to Kibana?

Looks like Kibana is bound to `localhost:5601` which is only accessible from within that host. Change `localhost:5601` to `0.0.0.0:5601` in your kibana.yml file.

Thanks Christian, that was the issue. I was able to confirm that with a netstat -an and it was only bound to the loopback. Thanks for the quick reply! I can connect to it now.
Regards,
Max
