Hello, My Elasticsearch is sending data to two distinct Kibana instances, and it works with two different URLs. Now, I want to use a VIP (Virtual IP) for these two Kibana instances. Do I need to modify my kibana.yml configuration or add something? Thank you ---

Hello, It is a little confusing what you mean, Elasticsearch does not _send data_ to Kibana, Kibana is a client to Elasticsearch, so Kibana will connect to Elasticsearch to be able to query and show data. You have 2 Kibana instances connected to the same Elasticsearch node in the same cluster? Is that right? ---

Sorry @leandrojmp for the confusion, yes, I have 2 Kibana instances connected to the same Elasticsearch node in the same cluster, and i want to use a VIP (Virtual IP) for these two Kibana instances. ---

This needs to be done outside Kibana, you need to configure your VIP or a load balancer in front of it using any tool you want. But for this to work some kibana settings needs to be the same, check this [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html) explaining what you need to do. ---

I found these parameters in the doc : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/9/69d7109f3dd5fa668265a3bfe7866ef5a1839976.png) Should i put them in my two kibana config files without any value, or should each one be followed by it's value ? Thank you @leandrojmp ---

> [@Manal\_A](#): > > Should i put them in my two kibana config files without any value, or should each one be followed by it's value ? No, you should configure those settings to have the **same** value in all your Kibana instances if you are setting one of them to have any value.
