Kibana should be running on port 5601, try:

[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana)

Welcome!

If Kibana is running on another machine, you will need to configure `network.host` setting in elasticsearch so it can listen to requests coming on the network card instead of only localhost.

Then configure Kibana accordingly.
