Hi @SafiaSo ,

We need much more details to be able to help you: what version of the stack? how did you install the stack? What do you see in Kibana logs? The more details you can provide the higher chance we can all figure that out.

Best,  
Oleg

Make sure you bind kibana on the IP of the CentOS box by updating `kibana.yml`

```auto
server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"

```

And also make sure the firewall is autorizing 5601 port

```auto
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5601/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

```
