I metricbeat running on the same host as kibana?

Otherwise you will need to set the appropriate kibab

```auto
setup.kibana:

  # Kibana Host
  # Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
  # In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
  # IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
  host: "mykibanahost:5601" <!---- HERE

```

Hello 🙂

> ` hosts: ["localhost:9200"]`

Please don't use `localhost` and use fixed ip address.  
Is your Kibana instance online?  
I don't see `server.publicBaseUrl:` in your Kibana config.
