Are there any errors in your elasticsearch logs? If you open up the network tab of your browser's devtools, do you see any error responses?

It looks like your Elasticsearch instance may be down or inaccessible from the host Kibana is running on.

These lines indicate that Kibana probably isn't actually connected to Elasticsearch:

> ["warning","elasticsearch"],"pid":22181,"message":"Unable to revive connection: [http://10.10.11.36:9200/](http://10.10.11.36:9200/)"}  
> {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-08-19T01:54:47+00:00","tags":["warning","elasticsearch"],"pid":22181,"message":"No living connections"}

What does the Kibana status page look like? (Settings -\> Status)
