Hello,

Here is our documentation about remote clusters and Kibana - [Connect to remote clusters | Elasticsearch Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/remote-clusters-connect.html)

Thanks,  
Bhavya

Welcome to our community! 😃

Kibana can only connect to the cluster that is set in its configuration file unless you setup cross cluster search (CCS).
