I am using Kibana 5.1.1. In Console UI, there are no settings provided to specify the Elasticsearch Host address. Is it a genuine miss? ---

The console that ships with Kibana only talks to the Elasticsearch that Kibana is connected to. Otherwise it would either require a complicated configuration or would serve as an open proxy that people would not realize they are hosting. See [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/7067](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/7067) for more info ---
