Kibana 3 unable to connect to elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am on RHEL 6. I can send messages from my Logstash shipper to Redis to
Elasticsearch. I installed logstash via RPM on all my servers and I
installed elasticsearch 1.0.3 via RPM. When I issue the command via curl to
check my node status, I get two different versions. In Kibana 3, it tells
me that "Your version of Elasticsearch is too old. Kibana requires
Elasticsearch 0.90.9 or above." As you can see, I am running a version
greater than 0.90.9. Kibana also tells me that "Could not reach
http://[elastic-search-hostname]:9200/_nodes. If you are using a proxy,
ensure it is configured correctly". I am not using a proxy.

Any idea what is wrong?

$ curl http://[elastic-search-hostname]:9200/_nodes/process?pretty

{
"cluster_name" : "logstash",
"nodes" : {
"43V635FUQ46pksH9yZ8SuA" : {

It'll help if you can gist/pastebin your config for kibana.
Also install a monitoring plugin like Marvel or ElasticHQ to give yourself
better insight into your cluster.

Thanks for the tips. It turns it that it was a DNS issue. But I am
going to install one of those tools.
