I am not able to connect Kibana with elasticsearch. Here is my elasticsearch file config:
```
cluster.name: laboratori
node.name: node-1
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
```
and my kibana.yml has nothing (everything is commented).
If I try a curl to the elastisearch url, it responds:
{
"name" : "node-1",
"cluster\_name" : "laboratori",
"cluster\_uuid" : "fNCQ7ByMRfaDLqe0wyQv6g",
"version" : {
"number" : "6.4.0",
"build\_flavor" : "default",
"build\_type" : "rpm",
"build\_hash" : "595516e",
"build\_date" : "2018-08-17T23:18:47.308994Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "7.4.0",
"minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "5.6.0",
"minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
but the Kibana says "Cannot connect to the Elasticsearch cluster currently configured for Kibana."
And if I check the kibana.stdout I see the message:
```
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-09-17T18:17:05Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":3768,"message":"Unable to revive connection: http://localhost:9200/"}
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-09-17T18:17:05Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":3768,"message":"No living connections"}
```
Could someone help me?
Regards,
Joan

Can you post your entire elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml configurations? Also, are they both on the same host (single node)?

Yes, they are on the same node.
```
[root@demo ~]# grep -v ^# /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
cluster.name: laboratori
node.name: node-1
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
```
The kibana.yml is all commented, so no parameter setted.
Thanks and regards

Hi all!
I checked the /var/log/kibana/kibana.stdout and I found the following error
```
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-09-20T14:24:40Z","tags":["error","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":10119,"message":"Request error, retrying\nHEAD http://loc
alhost:9200/ => connect ECONNREFUSED 172.22.249.102:9200"}
```
I did not understand why the localhost was translated to my IP 172.22.249.102. I went to **/etc/hosts** and **changed** the resolution to **127.0.0.1**. **Now it works like a charm**
