actually i try to use sense plugin. in order to do that, i need to install kibana first.
so i install it, and try to connecting it with elastic search. when i run this command :
cd kibana/bin/kibana.bat

Are you sure you are using the right versions? If I look at the output from localhost:9200 you are running the alpha version of elasticsearch 5? Are you also using the alpha version of Kibana 5? In the alpha version there is not longer a need for sense. The alpha version of Kibana comes with **Console** which is the new name for sense. It looks like you are running Kibana 4 against Elastic 5 and that is supported. Actually when I try to boot Kibana 4.5.1 against elastic alpha it does not even start.
In short, what versions of elastic and Kibana are you running?

Strange, I do this regularly and it works without problems for me. Did you check the elasticsearch and the kibana logs? Anything in there? Especially in the Kibana log.

If you start Kibana from a command prompt you can see the logs there.
