1. Elastic Search 6.3.2 Installed the opensource version of Elastic Search Cluster in AWS. Its configured to reach via domain. No Username and password configured. The setup has been validate using /\_cat/health and can confirm its working from the browser as well as from Kibana docker container (see below for more explanation) elasticsearch.yml file cluster.name: "elasticsearch" bootstrap.memory\_lock: false network.host: 0.0.0.0 network.publish\_host: _ec2:privateIp_ transport.publish\_host: _ec2:privateIp_ discovery.zen.hosts\_provider: ec2 discovery.ec2.tag.ElasticSearch: esnode discovery.ec2.endpoint: ec2.${REGION}.amazonaws.com s3.client.default.endpoint: s3.${REGION}.amazonaws.com cloud.node.auto\_attributes: true cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.attributes: aws\_availability\_zone node.master: ${IS\_MASTER:true} node.data: ${IS\_DATA:true} node.ingest: ${IS\_INGEST:true} 1. Kibana 6.3.2 Started the Kibana docker container locally by pointing to the elastic search domain configured above. I logged into the container and validated it is able to reach the elastic search (using curl -XGET). For some reason, I see error "Request Timeout after 3000ms" in the log and Kibana UI displays the same message next to plugin:elasticsearch@6.3.2. Am doing anything wrong? Do I need to configure the username and password? docker run -p 5601:5601 -e ELASTICSEARCH\_URL=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.com/ kibana-docker:latest {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["status","plugin:kibana@6.3.2","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["status","plugin:elasticsearch@6.3.2","info"],"pid":1,"state":"yellow","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["status","plugin:timelion@6.3.2","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["status","plugin:console@6.3.2","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["status","plugin:metrics@6.3.2","info"],"pid":1,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:05Z","tags":["listening","info"],"pid":1,"message":"Server running at [http://0.0.0.0:5601](http://0.0.0.0:5601)"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-07-27T14:39:08Z","tags":["status","plugin:elasticsearch@6.3.2","error"],"pid":1,"state":"red","message":"Status changed from yellow to red - Request Timeout after 3000ms","prevState":"yellow","prevMsg":"Waiting for Elasticsearch"} kibana.yml server.host: '0.0.0.0' server.port: 5601 elasticsearch.url : ${ELASTICSEARCH\_URL} ---
