Hey @murali_krishnam_raju, Do you have security enabled in your ES instance? If yes, then you need to properly configure internal Kibana user with `elasticsearch.username` and `elasticsearch.password` properties in `kibana.yml`, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.x/using-kibana-with-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.x/using-kibana-with-security.html). If not, any verbose Kibana logs would help to figure out what is going on. Best, Oleg ---

It's hard to suggest anything without seeing logs, you can run Kibana with `--verbose` flag and attach logs here or just its parts that look relevant. Also make sure that you can access Elasticearch directly using the URL from `elasticsearch.url` (e.g. open `http://{es_host}:{es_port}/_cat` in browser). ---

@murali_krishnam_raju, what roles does the user you configured in `elasticsearch.username` have? This user should have `kibana_system` role (built-in `kibana` user should have this role already). ---
