We hoped to make our kibana server a dual homed network. Private and DMZ. Is it possible to set the kibana,yml server.host file to both IP's on the server. I haven't seen this but figured I would ask.

Thanks

Kibana can only listen to a single interface, but you can use the underlying networking layer (e.g. iptables with virtual interfaces on linux) to do the routing.

Kibana can listen on all interfaces if you use "0.0.0.0". You can block some with host firewall if necessary.

Good point @rugenl, I meant you can’t pick multiple specific ones. Just using 0.0.0.0 and configuring the firewall correctly sounds like a good approach
