Kibana not found elasticsearch host

when i run kibana.bat on windows os it is showing error. Both are running in same machine.

FATAL Error: [config validation of [server].host]: types that failed validation:

  • [config validation of [server].host.0]: value must be a valid hostname (see RFC 1123).
  • [config validation of [server].host.1]: expected value to equal [0]

below url i add in kibana.yml

Elasticsearch.host: ["http://172.xx.xx.x:9200"]

Can you please post your entire Kibana config.

Should not include the port as it is defined in the line above

server.host: "172.16.0.61"

After removing port

FATAL Error: [config validation of [elasticsearch].host]: definition for this key is missing

Wait a moment i guess, i forgot something

same

definition for this key is missing

that is a yml syntax error post your kibana.yml again

typo... it should be hosts with an s... it is code, you need to be careful / exact

From the reference yml
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]

@stephenb you are great...its working thanks
