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](http://10.145.0.7:9200)" **Error** > log [07:00:20.477] [info][status][plugin:kibana@5.6.9] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready > log [07:00:20.544] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@5.6.9] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch > log [07:00:20.588] [info][status][plugin:console@5.6.9] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready > log [07:00:20.633] [info][status][plugin:metrics@5.6.9] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready > log [07:00:20.850] [info][status][plugin:timelion@5.6.9] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready > error [07:00:20.857] [fatal] Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL 30.123.14.56:5601 > at Object.exports.\_errnoException (util.js:1020:11) > at exports.\_exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1043:20) > at Server.\_listen2 (net.js:1264:19) > at listen (net.js:1313:10) > at net.js:1423:9 > at \_combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:83:11) > at process.\_tickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:104:9) > FATAL { Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL 30.123.14.56:5601 > at Object.exports.\_errnoException (util.js:1020:11) > at exports.\_exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1043:20) > at Server.\_listen2 (net.js:1264:19) > at listen (net.js:1313:10) > at net.js:1423:9 > at \_combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:83:11) > at process.\_tickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:104:9) > cause: > { Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL 30.123.14.56:5601 > at Object.exports.\_errnoException (util.js:1020:11) > at exports.\_exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1043:20) > at Server.\_listen2 (net.js:1264:19) > at listen (net.js:1313:10) > at net.js:1423:9 > at \_combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:83:11) > at process.\_tickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:104:9) > code: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL', > errno: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL', > syscall: 'listen', > address: '30.123.14.56', > port: 5601 }, > isOperational: true, > code: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL', > errno: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL', > syscall: 'listen', > address: '30.123.14.56', > port: 5601 } 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, Ganeshbabu R ---

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](https://www.elastic.co/blog/playing-http-tricks-nginx) for some tips and tricks. ---
