Hi, I am trying to join Kibana and Nagios, following this link: [https://www.elastic.co/es/blog/integrating-nagios-checks-with-logstash](https://www.elastic.co/es/blog/integrating-nagios-checks-with-logstash)

But I get some errors which I cant resolve it, any ideas? Thanks.

Initially, it seems like you cannot reach the configured hosts.... are elasticsearch, kibana and logstash all on the same machine ?

How are the configured, please provide configuration yaml files so we can determine potential misconfigurations or issues.

I see a lot of localhost references, but if they are all on different machines, use an IP address or a Fully qualified domain name to access / connect to them

You have Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash and the Nagios module... to help we would need to see all the configuration yaml files.

You need to replace localhost with the IP address of the machine that service is running, however to use an IP address might need additional configuration of the default setup of that service, like for example making sure you can expose the service to clients outside of the host machine, meaning clients not running on the same machine.

Settings file for what ? Elasticsearch, kibana and logstash ? Depending on your installation this will differ, you must have edited these files to set them up.
