Hi, I am having trouble setting up my filebeat dashboards in Kibana. When I run the command to setup dashboards I am getting this error.

`Get http://192.168.126.132:5601/api/status: dial tcp 192.168.126.132:5601: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it`

My filebeat.yml looks like this:

`setup.kibana.host: "192.168.126.132:5601"`

My Kibana host machine is reachable on the network. I'm not sure why it is being actively refused. I have allowed all connections to port 5601 in ufw.

When I run netstat -plnt I get :

```

```

Is it a problem with Kibana's host server name? My Kibana.yml is below:

```
server.name: kibana
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
elasticsearch.url: http://elasticsearch:9200
#elasticsearch.username: elastic
#elasticsearch.password: changeme
#xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true
logging.dest: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log

```

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
