now it works with -u elastic:password: status is green (127.0.0.1:9200) with https but I am getting: {"error":"no handler found for uri [/\_xpack/security/\_authenticate?pretty.] Now I know, that kibana has to connect with port 9200, but only port 127.0.0.1 is listening ... network.host: has no effect with ES 8.x? ---

Are you able to run the same/similar command from the Kibana machine? Also please use the latest 8.1.3. ---

no, because the ES host is only listening on localhost. 127.0.0.1:9200 kibana is running on a different host ---

Did you set `network.host`? What does your `elasticsearch.yml` file look like? Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons. Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text. If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible. ---

Yes, I set network.host But the host is not listening on this IP, only 127.0.0.1 ```auto # ---------------------------------- Network ----------------------------------- # By default Elasticsearch is only accessible on localhost. Set a different # address here to expose this node on the network: network.host: 14.168.178.75 # http.port: 9200 ``` [o.e.h.AbstractHttpServerTransport]: publish\_address {127.0.0.1:9200}, bound\_addresses {[::1]:9200}, {127.0.0.1:9200} ---

Did you restart the node? Is that the full `elasticsearch.yml` file? ---

I had no changes to do. The rest is standard ... node name, path etc. (my oldest es is version Elasticsearch-2.4.2) this one is listening to the public address) the old one looks better: ```auto tcp 0 0 49.42.145.147:9200 :::* LISTEN 1385/java ``` ```auto network.host: 14.168.178.75 seems to be not working with ES 8.0 ``` ---

Could you restart the Elasticsearch node? And share the **full** logs here? ---
