I launched Elasticsearch withcommand ./elasticsearh and started Kibana with ./kibana.

My kibana.yml

server.port: 5601

server.host: "172.18.183.220"

elasticsearch.url: "[http://120.79.223.63:9200](http://120.79.223.63:9200)"  
(172.18.183.220 is the private network IP of my cloud server  
120.79.223.63 is the public network IP of the cloud server )

And I used '[http://120.79.223.63:5601](http://120.79.223.63:5601)' in Google Chrome to test the kibana then recieved 'Cannot access this website  
120.79.223.63 response time is too long'

Right, because you only told it to serve on the local IP.

How do I modify the configuration file?
