Hi,

I wanted to create an elasticsearch cluster, this is the changes I made :

cluster.name: network-logs  
node.name: network-1  
network.host: 172.16.250.29  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["172.16.250.29"]

But the curl doesn't work :

```auto
# curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state?pretty'
curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9200; Connection refused
```

Given your host IP:

You should replace "localhost" with the IP address:

`curl -XGET 'http://172.16.250.29:9200/_cluster/state?pretty'`

The curl works , but not kibana :

You need to configure the correct `elasticsearch.url` in kibana.yml and then restart Kibana to make it connect to the server by name or IP (and not by localhost).
