In Filebeat and Winlogbeat, the configuration files have separate sections for output.Elasticsearch and setup.kibana. It was easy to figure out where to put the Elasticsearch host and the Kibana host - which are 2 different values - in the config file.

Now I am trying out [Audit.NET](http://Audit.NET) which is built on top of NEST. The NEST documentation says to enter the Elasticsearch URI in the ConnectionSettings. However it says nothing about configuring the Kibana host.

Hi, @paolovalladolid.

I'm unfamiliar with [Audit.NET](http://Audit.NET), but NEST is a client for Elasticsearch and has no interaction with Kibana, therefore, there is no Kibana host configuration to complete.
