I am newbie and have setup 2ES instances on localhost using different ports 9200 and 7200 both my instances are running and I can see them in browser on respective ports, how can I point both ports to use single kibana
I am able to browse default 9200 on kibana port 5601 but the 7200 does not shows up
What am I missing here
Any suggestions will highly be appreciated

Hi @rizawk Welcome to the community!
You can't... Kibana can only be connected to a single cluster at a time... Each of your elasticsearch instances are actually 2 separate 1 node elasticsearch clusters.
You would need to install 2 separate Kibana installs on 2 separate ports.. and point 1 each to 1 of the ES nodes

After running 2 separate kibanas it worked
Thanks
