I'm configuring `kibana:6.8.23` for remote `elasticsearch host` . I used docker compose file to install it. I use the env `ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS: '["my elasticsearch host"]'` . But find that `/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yaml`file not updated with the **env** from compose file. Then I tried edit file inside docker container and update the `elasticsearch.hosts: ["my elasticserch host"]` But connection is not establishing. I got the following error
2023-11-19 08:53:55 {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2023-11-19T08:53:55Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":1,"message":"Unable to revive connection: my elasticsearch host"} 2023-11-19 08:53:57 {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2023-11-19T08:53:57Z","tags":["license","warning","xpack"],"pid":1,"message":"License information from the X-Pack plugin could not be obtained from Elasticsearch for the [data] cluster.

Hi @nazmus_sakib_1987,
Welcome to the community! Can you please sure you're configuration?
Can I confirm you're using Kibana version 6.8? Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? If you are using version 6.8 I would recommend updating to an in support version as per the [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) and [EOL policy](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol).
