hello team!
I'm building a elastic cluster and i'm having a trouble to bring kibana online, it looks like it cannot connect to the elasticsearch service, follow the logs
Kibana:
```
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-04-09T13:43:13Z","tags":["error","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":6280,"message":"Request error, retrying\nGET http://10.179.221.231:9200/.kibana_task_manager => connect ECONNREFUSED 10.179.221.231:9200"}

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-04-09T13:43:15Z","tags":["error","savedobjects-service"],"pid":6280,"message":"Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes."}

```
kibana.yml:
```
server.port: 5601
server.host: 10.179.221.231
server.name: AUSELKEMS02
elasticsearch.hosts: http://10.179.221.231:9200
elasticsearch.preserveHost: true
logging.dest: D:\ELK\Kibana\kibana-7.6.2-windows-x86_64\log\kibana.log
logging.quiet: true
```
since now, thanks for your attention!

Can you connect to [http://10.179.221.231:9200](http://10.179.221.231:9200) using curl command or browser?

So we know that Elasticsearch is up and running.
How about connecting to Elasticsearch service on the host which Kibana runs on?

they are on the same server, that's why I'm thinking that something is very wrong here
