I have deployed elastic nodes, logstash through azure template. i have installed kibana on a separate VM. Kibana is not communicating with elasticsearch.

**_elasticsearch.yml_**

cluster.name: "rsxxxxxx"  
node.name: "DvELKdata-0"  
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch  
path.data: /datadisks/disk1/elasticsearch/data  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["DvELKmaster-0:9300","DvELKmaster-1:9300","DvELKmaster-2:9300"]  
node.master: false  
node.data: true  
discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2  
network.host: [_site_, _local_]  
node.max\_local\_storage\_nodes: 1  
node.attr.fault\_domain: 0  
node.attr.update\_domain: 0  
cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.attributes: fault\_domain,update\_domain  
xpack.license.self\_generated.type: trial  
xpack.security.enabled: false  
bootstrap.memory\_lock: true

kibana.yml

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.

#server.port: 5601  
#To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.  
server.host: "10.2\*\*.1\*\*.11" // [_site_] of elastic IP

# The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.

#server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576

# The Kibana server's name. This is used for display purposes.![22%20PM|690x435]

#server.name: "your-hostname"

# The URL of the Elasticsearch instance to use for all your queries.

elasticsearch.url: "http:/127.0.0.1:9200"

That needs to be the IP of the Elasticsearch host.

Thanks for the attention Mark..  
I updated the elasticsearch url to [http://10.2](http://10.2)\*\*.1\*\*.11"

When i visited [http://10.2](http://10.2)\*\*.1\*\*.11" :5601 - it still says connection refused

kibana.yml  
#server.port: 5601  
server.host: "10.2\*\*.1\*\*.11"  
#server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576  
#server.name: "[http://10.2](http://10.2)\*\*.1\*\*.11" ::5601"  
elasticsearch.url: "[http://10.2](http://10.2)\*\*.1\*\*.11" ::9200"  
#elasticsearch.preserveHost: true

NOTE : Kibana runs on 10.2\*\*.1\*\*.14

You also updated `server.host`. See [Configure Kibana | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) for what that means.
