Hello Ganesh,

I'm assuming you've tried going to http://<your server>:5601. Have you tried running a curl command from the server itself? curl http://localhost:5601. If this returns content, you may have a port access issue.

If you have a server/port access issue, have firewall/iptables been configured to allow traffic on the 5601 port or another port through which traffic (including Kibana's) is forwarded? I can't recommend a specific server configuration as there are many ways to configure a server for accessing locally hosted apps such as Kibana. Which way makes sense will depend on your server's operating system and your specific access requirements for Kibana.

Regards,
Aaron
