I am new in this... I am using a AWS Ec-2 and I have installed Elasticsearch and Kibana in it.  
In the configuration of Kibana I have modified the server.host parameter to use the ec2 ip in order to allow remote access to Kibana.  
I would like to know how I have to exactly set Kibana settings (and other configuration if needed) in order to access to the ec2-ip:5601 port to manage Kibana portal from another computer.  
Tank you!

Trying setting `server.host` to `0.0.0.0`. Make sure you are trying to access it using the public IP/hostname of the EC2 machine.

I am using MobaXterm to access to the EC2 machine. The public IP is the one I use to access to the machine using MobaXterm? if not... which is the public IP or where can I find it?  
And... to access to Kibana once I have set server.host to 0.0.0.0 , Should I look for http://public\_IP:5601 in the browser?  
Thank you !

I used the 0.0.0.0 server-host and I had to fix the hostname of the ec2 machine. The problem was in the host name.  
I modified the file hosts doing sudo nano hosts and I set a custom hostname.  
I could start kibana portal Public\_IP:5601

Thank you !
