I have two VMs to setup the kibana and the elasticsearch, one of them as elasticsearch server, another one setup the kibana, and both them running in the docker, but I meeting a error for the kibana server, the error log is:
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-04-29T13:30:07Z","tags":["warning","plugins","licensing"],"pid":6,"message":"License information could not be obta
ined from Elasticsearch due to Error: Request Timeout after 30000ms error"}
if I setup the elasticsearch and the kibana on the same VM, the kibana is normal, my kibana config file as follow:
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["[http://176.122.109.46:9200](http://176.122.109.46:9200)"]
elasticsearch.username: "admin"
elasticsearch.password: "admin1234"
server.name: "elasticsearch"
what can I change my kibana config to support access another elasticsearch server?

Hi @loxiaopohaiol ,
It feels like a pure docker misconfiguration to me. Have you checked that you [properly exposed ports](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/free-developer-tools/blog/docker-expose-port/) from your container? Have you tried to enter Kibana container and ping the Elasticsearch from there?
Best,
Oleg

Hi，@ azasypkin
I have a test in the kibana container, it can't ping another sever(elasticsearch), I think is the docker network setting error for the kibana container, thank you very much, I will change my kibana docker network setting.

Hi,
I change my docker run with --network-host, the kibana container is running normal, thanks for your advices.
