Hi People, I am trying to start my kibana on public ip ( say, some\_public\_ip) but unable to do so , getting following error.

Is that address assigned to the host Kibana is running on? ---

I think you should enable the network host address in kibana.yml and for elasticsearch as well, if necessary. Use your own IP or configure it to 0.0.0.0 (I had to do this when I'm running on AWS and to use the DNS IP) and it should work. Note: maintain a space between networkhost: and the IP address as it will be viewed as a Key-Value pair. ---

Yes @warkolm , the specified public IP has been assigned to the same host where am trying to run a kibana. @Rohithnama : actually am hosting kibana on my private cloud and server.host : "some\_private\_ip" has been already set in kibana.yml. ---

As far as what I see, it definitely has to do something with the IP address that you are assigning. But I'm unable to figure out what the cause. Let me know if you are able to sort out and if not, I hope other members will be able to help you! ---

> [@Ritesh\_Sharma](#): > > server.host : "some\_private\_ip" has been already set in kibana.yml. You need to set that to the public IP, or 0.0.0.0 as advised. ---
