Hello Team,

I am trying to install elasticserach and kibana 7.0.0 on a new machine with Ubuntu server 18.04 on it, My elasticsearch is running fine which I was able to confirm by running "curl -X GET "192.168.x.xxx:9200" " but when try to start kibana it gives me an error as below

Apr 27 23:50:03 kibana[5105]: FATAL ValidationError: child "elasticsearch" fails because ["url" is not allowed]

My Kibana.yml config file as follows

server.port: 5601  
server.host: "192.168.x.xxx"  
server.name: "xxxxxxxx"  
elasticsearch.url: "[https://192.168.x.xxx:9200](https://192.168.x.xxx:9200)"  
elasticsearch.username: "kibanaserver"  
elasticsearch.password: "kibanaserver"

What am I missing? Thanks in Advance.

You want `elasticsearch.hosts` as per [Configuring Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/settings.html)
