Hi, I am a beginner in elasticsearch, I installed elasticsearch 6.2.3 and kibana 6.2.3 on a machine (master) centos 6.9 minimal, and I want to access the kibana by another machine windows 7.

1. **machine (master) when elasticsearch and kibana are installed :**

- network configuration (eth0):

![eth0](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/0/60079fbb1094ab63432636adeb4be8d4e8355d7d.JPG)

- elasticsearch configuration :

> ```
> cluster.name: cluster_hadoop_chu
> node.name: master
> node.master: true
> node.data: false
> path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
> path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
> bootstrap.system_call_filter: false
> transport.host: localhost
> transport.tcp.port: 9300
> network.host: 0.0.0.0
> http.port: 9200
> discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 3
> 
> ```

- Kibana configuration :

> server.host: "192.168.4.101"  
> elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"

1. **machine (windows 7) when I want to access to kibana by browser :**

- Network configuration :

- Elasticsearch :

when I type on chrome '[http://192.168.4.101:9200](http://192.168.4.101:9200)' it works fine

- Kibana :

but when i type on chrome '[http://192.168.4.101:5601](http://192.168.4.101:5601)' that's what shows me :

 ![kibana](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/5/d509259ebe26ff0a13f922e18e64ef18fe4502b4.JPG)

please help me, I searched too much on google and I have not found a solution yet.

I do not understand your config. If you are just starting out with Elasticsearch, I would recommend you start with the default options.

I can see a few potential issues with your config:

- All clusters need at least one data node. The node you are showing has `node.data` set to false.
- You have set `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` to 3, indicating that you expect 4-5 master eligible nodes in the cluster if you have been following [these guidelines](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-node.html#split-brain).
- If you are expecting other nodes, you have not configured [discovery](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-discovery-zen.html) so that you node can find these other nodes.

In that case, you should address Christian's feedback. One way would be to remove the following from the config:

```auto
node.name: master
node.master: true
node.data: false
bootstrap.system_call_filter: false
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 3

```
