Hi Everyone,

I am setting up cluster having 3 nodes of elasticsearch. I want to add the nodes address under the section _ **elasticsearch.hosts** _ in kibana.yml file (6.5 version), but this is missing in the file. Please help

I am referring below link for setup :

Thank You

You can see that that setting does not exists in Kibana 6.5 from this page: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.5/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.5/settings.html)

Instead, it looks like there is only one host allowed:

```auto
elasticsearch.url:
    Default: "http://localhost:9200" The URL of the Elasticsearch instance to use for all your queries. 

```

Kibana does not need to talk to multiple elasticsearch instances to be able to query data in the cluster, the instance configured is usually called the "coordinating node" which will forward requests as needed
