Hi Shashi,

have you changed the `elasticsearch.url` setting `kibana.yml` to point to your Elasticsearch Cluster? Kibana tries to connect to `http://localhost:9200` by default, which might not be correct for your setup.

Hi Weltenwort,  
I am having the same exact issue with the only difference is that instead of getting "Unable to connect to Elastsearch at [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" I am getting "Request Timeout after 3000ms"  
My kibana.yml file configs listed below:  
server.port: 5601  
server.host: "[my-public-ip.amazonaws.com](http://my-public-ip.amazonaws.com)"  
server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576  
elasticsearch.url: "[http://my-elasticsearch-cluster-LB-public-ip.amazonaws.com:9200](http://my-elasticsearch-cluster-LB-public-ip.amazonaws.com:9200)" I have two client nodes associated with the LB  
elasticsearch.preserveHost: true  
kibana.index: ".kibana"

nevermind I figured it out. It was a networking issue.
