I know this will sound like a broken record, but I  
ve been racking my brain all day to try to get kibana working properly. When I try to access the Kibana interface([http://ipaddress:5601](http://ipaddress:5601), I get the website cannot be reached.

First thing I did was check my Kibana.yml file output:

## Default Kibana configuration from kibana-docker.

## from [https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker/blob/master/build/kibana/config/kibana.yml](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker/blob/master/build/kibana/config/kibana.yml)

# 

server.name: kibana  
server.host: "0.0.0.0"  
server.port: 5601  
elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"

I've tried using my ip address, loopback ip for server.host, and ip address for elasticsearch.url.

Next I made sure that I could curl both kibana and elasticsearch:

curl -XGET [http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601) var hashRoute = '/app/kibana';  
var defaultRoute = '/app/kibana';

var hash = window.location.hash;  
if (hash.length) {  
window.location = hashRoute + hash;  
} else {  
window.location = defaultRoute;

[root@ip-10-0-0-91 ec2-user]# curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)  
{  
"name" : "s5ILfbF",  
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",  
"cluster\_uuid" : "7GSuYka1QSm5pvuLtOVf5w",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "6.2.4",  
"build\_hash" : "ccec39f",  
"build\_date" : "2018-04-12T20:37:28.497551Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "7.2.1",  
"minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "5.6.0",  
"minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "5.0.0"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}

Finally I reviewed the kibana log file:

{"type":"response","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T03:01:35Z","tags":[],"pid":222,"meth od":"get","statusCode":200,"req":{"url":"/","method":"get","headers":{"user-agen t":"curl/7.29.0","host":"localhost:5601","accept":"_/_"},"remoteAddress":"172.17 .0.1","userAgent":"172.17.0.1"},"res":{"statusCode":200,"responseTime":2,"conten tLength":9},"message":"GET / 200 2ms - 9.0B"}  
{"type":"response","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T03:02:11Z","tags":[],"pid":222,"meth od":"get","statusCode":200,"req":{"url":"/","method":"get","headers":{"user-agen t":"curl/7.29.0","host":"localhost:5601","accept":"_/_"},"remoteAddress":"172.17 .0.1","userAgent":"172.17.0.1"},"res":{"statusCode":200,"responseTime":2,"conten tLength":9},"message":"GET / 200 2ms - 9.0B"}

I don't have Nginx installed as of now, but I noticed on a previous test server I built with elk stack docker, I'm able to access the Kibana interface with the Nginx service disabled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you try and set the `server.host` in kibana.yml to your instance's IP address?

I have but still no luck. Crazy thing is, this server is a clone from the elk test server I created.

Anybody have ideas of how to resolve this problem? I can curl the localhost, but not the ip address associated with the localhost. Which is causing winlogbeats and filebeats to fail on my client servers to communicate with ELK.
