You can ssh into Elasticsearch node VMs from the Kibana VM; Port 22 is not exposed to the public internet on Elasticsearch node VMs.

Take a look at the [accessing nodes documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/azure-arm-template-troubleshooting-accessing-nodes.html) for more details.

The trick was that I have to use private IP address from Kibana host. All set now. Thanks again.
