Hello,
Is there way to use a local instance of Kibana to access a remote ES? I am using postman now to send commands but would like to use the latest version of Kibana.

Yup, just set the elasticsearch url and username/password in your kibana.yml file:
```auto
elasticsearch.url: "https://blablah.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243"
elasticsearch.username: "elastic"
elasticsearch.password: "changeme"
```

Thank you. I tried changing the URL but no luck. It might be my password that's causing the issue. Thanks!
