Hi @aditya,

Kibana and elasticsearch-py are completely unrelated. You can use elasticsearch-py to interact with Elasticsearch via its REST API and you can use Kibana for visualization (or ad-hoc queries in the "Dev Tools" tab).

Sharing a Kibana dashboard without revealing Kibana's actual address it outside of the scope of Kibana. One solution is to use a [reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy) in front of Kibana. Users are talking to the reverse proxy (e.g. [https://analytics.example.org](https://analytics.example.org)) and your reverse proxy is then talking to Kibana on their behalf. Therefore users will only see the reverse proxy host ([analytics.example.org](http://analytics.example.org)) instead of Kibana's actual IP.
