How can I configure kibana if it run on a different host with elasticsearch and logstash?
For example my elasticsearch server is 10.1.11.111
my kibana server is 10.1.11.112
and my logstash server is 10.1.11.113 ?
In kibana.yml, I set up server.host to 10.1.11.112 and point to 10.1.11.111:9200 but it does not work. Can anyone help me ?
What do you mean by "point to 10.1.11.111"? You have to set elasticsearch.hosts config setting in your kibana.yml (including protocol and port) - see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html for an example
If you already did that, can you elaborate on what exactly doesn't work?
Of course I did it, but the kibana server is still not ready yet
I did like this topic but my kibana and elasticsearch on different host
Did you configure your elasticsearch to listen on the IP 10.1.11.111 ?
The tutorial you shared does not make this configuration, so elasticsearch per default will only listen on the loopback address (localhost, 127.0.0.1) and will be accessible only in the local machine. [documentation]
You will need to add this line in your elasticsearch.yml.
network.host: 10.1.11.111
Change your config file and try again.
I did it too. I doubt the server can't run because I change it to discovery.type single-node.
Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 
Can you please post your kibana.yml and your elasticsearch.yml.. Please format your code/logs/config using the </> button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you
here is my kibana.yml

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: 5601
# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
#node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
network.host: 10.1.11.111
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
#discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
discovery.type: single-node
# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
#
# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
#
#gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Require explicit names when deleting indices:
#
#action.destructive_requires_name: true

Thanks, that looks good at a quick glance.
What do your Kibana logs show?
what is kibana logs ? do you mean the server? I still can't access kibana from remote server and it say "kibana server is not ready yet"
From /var/log/kibana/kibana.log.
I have no such file yet. No kibina folder in /var/log/
Can you post the text output from the startup command, rather than the image of it? There's important information that is missing from that.
