I would like to know what is the best setup to have an elasticsearch data node and kibana server on separate machines. I have setup multiple elasticsearch data nodes and would like to show all dashboards on one server but not sure how to do that. I do not want to have different urls to view different dashboards. I set up the data nodes with logstash shipper on each machine so all I need now is to have kibana get data from each different data node. Is that possible? I edited the config file for kibana as follows: elasticsearch: "http://"192.168.xx.xxx":9200" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

When you mean different data nodes, do you mean nodes that are part of the same cluster? If so then all you do is point kibana to one node and it will read any data from that cluster you request. You need to remove the extra quotes you have in that variable, you only need them around the entire value, not the http, IP and port.
