Kibana is not starting: Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes

Hi @Kunal_Rastogi

In order to get help faster, please make sure to clearly state your problem in the summary.

Now to back to the issue:

security_exception: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_nodes?filter_path=nodes.*.version%2Cnodes.*.http.publish_address%2Cnodes.*.ip]

First I would double check you can access Elasticsearch instance with credentials you set in kibana.yml

curl --user <your_username> -X GET "http://<your_es_host>:<your_es_port>/?pretty"

You can also check the similar issue and its troubleshooting.
