Hi everybody !  
I'm a french student and i try to install ELK. I found this tuto: [https://github.com/justmeandopensource/elk/blob/master/INSTALL-CentOS7.md](https://github.com/justmeandopensource/elk/blob/master/INSTALL-CentOS7.md)  
I follow it, all works but when i try this command:

> filebeat setup --dashboards

There are is error:

> Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)  
> Exiting: fail to create the Kibana loader: Error creating Kibana client: Error creating Kibana client: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to /api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get [http://server.example.com:5601/api/status:](http://server.example.com:5601/api/status:) dial tcp 172.42.42.10:5601: connect: connection refused. Response: .

I enable also:

> setup.dashboards.enabled: true

My Kibana is running, but it still don't work.  
Can someone could help me ?

Thanks ! 🙂

Is the host running Kibana reachable from your host? Can you ping it and telnet to it (if enabled)?
