Please look at [this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/default-index-kibana-not-created/135836/13) and provide more details about your setup and configuration. Without this I don't think anyone is going to be able to help...

Hi Christian\_Dahlqvist,
yes i swa the post of Ajit , we are suffering the same problem.
my configuration details is-
OS: linux
We have deployed using putty command line terminal.
In elasticsearch.yml I have below configuration.
bootstrap.system\_call\_filter: false
cluster.name: my-application
network.host: localhost
action.auto\_create\_index: true
In kibana.yml I have below configuration.
elasticsearch.url: "[http://AbcElk:9200](http://AbcElk:9200)"
elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: "none"
And I am checking .kibana index available or not using dev tool and curl query.
GET /\_cat/indices?v
curl localhost:9200/\_cat/indices

You Elasticsearch is binding to `localhost` which means it can't be accessed from other instances. You will need to bind to a non-loopback interface or place Kibana on the same host as Elasticsearch.

Your code is surprisingly exactly the same.
Are you colleagues?

There is no need to open multiple threads like this.
That's a waste of our resources as it is consuming time that we can dedicate to other users.
I'm closing this thread.
