Can you provide the Kibana logs during startup? It should contain the error for us to work from. ---

It can't reach Elasticsearch at `http://elasticsearch:9200/`. Is Elasticsearch up, can it be reached from the Kibana container? ---

Ok, so it's running but the Kibana container is unable to access it by its service name `elasticsearch` . Are you using docker compose? Can you provide your docker-compose.yml file? If you need an example of getting the Elastic stack up with that, we have an example here: [https://github.com/elastic/stack-docker](https://github.com/elastic/stack-docker) ---

I am not using docker compost at the moment. seems best way is to use docker compose. I will try using that. Thanks for the link. ---
