Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi All,

I have installed kibana and elasticsearch 5.6.9 version in linux machine and my internal ip is 10.145.0.7 and my external ip is 30.123.14.56 and I configured the same in kibana.yml, but I am getting the below error and kibana is not able to start,

Kibana configuration changes

server.port: 5601
server.host: "30.123.14.56"
elasticsearch.url: "http://10.145.0.7:9200"

Error

Note:- If i tried to change the server.host to internal ip then kibana is starting successfully but i am not able to access it outside. Since the server is hosted in google cloud platform i have to use external ip only for accessing outside but giving the external ip in server.host is not working now..

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Hi @r.ganeshbabu,

It sounds like you might need a reverse proxy setup to handle outbound requests to your internal network running Kibana and ES. See this blog post for some tips and tricks.
