This shows Elasticsearch binding to a non-loopback interface, but your Kibana is connecting to `localhost`. Do you by any chance have 2 Elasticsearch instances and Kibana is not connecting to the one you think it is??

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text.  
If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible.  
Please update your post.

I have asked for the Kibana logs. If you can not provide the information requested I do not have time to play response ping-pong like this. I am giving up. Good luck!

We have only one log in elasticsearch. No logs in kibana. Please wait will give you kibana logs after configuration of kibana logs.

This is wrong:

```auto
elasticsearch.url: "http://localhost:9200"

```

It must be:

```auto
elasticsearch.url: "http://172.21.153.176:9200"

```

Hi @dadoonet

yeah we configure first "elasticsearch.url: "[http://172.21.153.176:9200](http://172.21.153.176:9200)" " but it was not working then we use  
" elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" " only for testing purpose.

Did you try using `"http://172.21.153.176:9200"` after you removed the readonlyrest plugin?

Kibana generate logs, either to a file or the console, depending on how you start it. Please share these.

I don't know. You are not providing all the information.  
The information you are providing is either incomplete, sometimes out of the context of the current status, ...  
You don't provide all logs as @Christian_Dahlqvist asked.

> Please concentrate on this topic..

Ok. What can I do for you now?
