Hello, I would want to know how to connect my laptop's running kibana to elasticsearch on AWS while port forwarding it to my local system.

[chrome extension ## Multi Elasticsearch Head](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multi-elasticsearch-head/cpmmilfkofbeimbmgiclohpodggeheim)

I'm not sure how to link Kibana to the Chrome extension, but it's connecting to elasticsearch without any problems.

With the help of the Chrome extension, I was able to connect to Elasticsearch without any problems after entering my login information in the pop-up window.
