Just a quick question: Is there a way to find out to what instance of elasticsearch kibana is listening to? I mean other than checking the kibana.yml file. Is there a way, for example, to see this from kibana terminal? Or any other way?

In Dev Tools, enter any query and click the wrench icon. Select Copy as cURL. Contents of your clipboard will show the Elasticsearch instance configured for Kibana.
