Elasticsearch and Kibana are running on different VMs. I have tried about every setting in each of them to get them to communicate. Each are version 7.3. When I test Kibana I get the message Kibana not ready yet. Not sure what else to do. They can ping each other's host so logically the two hosts are connected on the same subnet.
sharing your configuration and your logfiles for each service should help a lot.

Elasticsearch configuration:
cluster.name: nsm-cluster
node.name: nsm-node1
network.host: 172.xx.0.20x
Set a custom port for HTTP:
http.port: 9200
When I use this curl connection to Elasticsearch host fails; whether it is with localhost or the host address. After restarting elasticsearch service I got the following status:

it seems that elasticsearch stops after starting up, can you check the elasticsearch logs in /var/log/elasticsearch for more information?
I could not get to the elasticsearch logs using my regular admin user. I am using Ubuntu. Could part of my problem be that I did not install elasticsearch using the user elasticsearch user that was created when installing elasticsearch?
I can setup sudoers to handle elasticsearch user but I don't want to break more than what already seems broken. Or even chown the log folder to my regular user.
Please advice.
my advice was in the previous post. Having and looking at the logs is the number one thing do to and indispensable, otherwise you are just guessing what is wrong, which likely means more try and error.
But how do I get to the logs if my regular user does not have permission to see them. I set the user elasticsearch to a password I know. I logged in as user elasticsearch but still could not get to logs. Something is seriously wrong.
if you were able to install elasticsearch using a package, you must have had root rights. If not, talk to your system administrator and try to solve the problem together and get that kind of data?
