Hello, I would like to have two ES instances in different machines, but a Kibana interface able to access both of them. Something like this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/a/a9b3041f47b62183bfd16357b566c5981428e6d7.png) How could I do it? My first idea is to create a cluster with two nodes (1 node for ES instance 1 and the other one for ES instance 2) , but how could I create a cluster with nodes from diferent machines? which parameter should I change from elasticsearch.yml? Thanks ---

The `cluster.name` needs to be the same, then change `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` as per [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/important-configuration-changes.html#unicast). ---
