I am running filebeats, elastic and kibana from same vm on AWS. I have elastic showing updates from filebeats. However Kibana wont show UI. I have opened all access thru the security group on EC2, but it doesnt work, I cant curl the external IP either. Could it be because I am running these apps from command line , rather than installing them as systemd service? Please let me know.

FYI - tracert to IP with port 5601 generates a response. So I know we can get to that public IP.

Can you post the logs for kibana and `kibana.yml`?

# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.

# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.

server.host: "0.0.0.0"

# Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy. This only affects

# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide

# is proxied through the Kibana server.

#elasticsearch.username: "user"

# Paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively. These

# files enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.

#server.ssl.cert: /path/to/your/server.crt

# These files validate that your Elasticsearch backend uses the same key files.

#elasticsearch.ssl.cert: /path/to/your/client.crt  
#elasticsearch.ssl.key: /path/to/your/client.key

# Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the PEM file for the certificate

# authority for your Elasticsearch instance.

# To disregard the validity of SSL certificates, change this setting’s value to false.

Please close this case, turned out to be a network port blocking issue.
