After installing Elasticsearch, Kibana, logstash to my windows 7 local machine, everything was perfect however, when I want to change the address from “ **localhost** ” to “ **192.168.1.100** ” I faced a problem so I made the below changes to the yml files (‘Elaasticsearch’,’Kibana’) as follow:

_C:\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.yml_

.  
.  
_Added this line_  
**_network.host: 0.0.0.0_**

C:\kibana\config\kibana.yml  
.  
.

**_network.bind\_host: 0_**  
**_network.host: 0.0.0.0_**  
**_server.host: "192.168.1.100"_**

**Make sure you close the old session , by closing the browser and luncing a new one with the IP address.**

Make sure your Host IP should be in Hosts file.If not , make an entry for Ip as well
