But my Kibana still show " Unable to connect ".

I have no idea. Anybody can help?

```

kibana.yml:

```auto
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://ELKM1:9200"]
server.publicBaseUrl: "https://ELKK1:5601"
enterpriseSearch.host: https://ELKM3:3002

Hi Frank\_Kuo -

In the Enterprise Search configuration, do you have the `kibana.host` setting configured correctly? See the [settings configuration guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/7.16/configuration.html#configuration-settings-kibana) for more as well.

Thanks for your replaying.

Yes, sure.  
enterprise-search.yml:

```auto
# ---------------------------------- Kibana -----------------------------------
#
# The primary URL at which users interact with Kibana. This is used when
# Enterprise Search links users to Kibana.
#
kibana.host: https://ELKK1:5601
#
# Define the exposed URL at which users will reach Kibana.
# Defaults to kibana.host
#
kibana.external_url: https://ELKK1:5601

```

enterprise-search run status:

```auto
#########################################################

Success! Elastic Enterprise Search is starting successfully.

In a few moments, you'll be able to access Enterprise Search from Kibana at the following address:

* URL: https://ELKK1:5601/app/enterprise_search/overview

  * If this is your first time starting Enterprise Search, check the console output above for your user authentication credentials.
  * Visit the documentation: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/7.16/index.html

Secret session key has been generated.

Set the key in your config file to persist user sessions through process restarts:

secret_session_key: 9ee7200057e00ed2baafe9b8

#########################################################

```

But, it still unable to connect my Kibana. T\_T
