Hi All,I have bought up a kibana setup in a remote server.Kibana is up and running.But Not able to access Kibana GUI from my browser.Here is kibana log
log [08:22:18.923] [info][listening] Server running at http://10.126.9.66:5656

Here is my kibana.yml

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: 5656

# 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: "10.126.9.66"

# Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy. This only affects
# the URLs generated by Kibana, your proxy is expected to remove the basePath value before forwarding requests
# to Kibana. This setting cannot end in a slash.

elasticsearch.url: "http://10.126.9.66:6541"

# When this setting's value is true Kibana uses the hostname specified in the server.host

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

# is proxied through the Kibana server.

# These files validate that your Elasticsearch backend uses the same key files.
#elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: /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.
#elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: [ "/path/to/your/CA.pem" ]

# To disregard the validity of SSL certificates, change this setting's value to 'none'.

Is the service running on the machine?
Is your host ip pingable from your computer ?
Is there a proxy enabled like iptables on kibana server, or default proxy rules like in most of cloud ?

ya abrx the services are running and i'm able to do telnet and
regarding proxy enabled how to check that

You got a timeout when doing something like curl -vk http://10.126.9.66:5656 ?

Depending on your OS you can check iptables status via systemctl status iptables (or with service for sysv), then iptables -L for listing the rules. Please refer to iptables documentation to write rules to allow access to your cluster.

It also depends of which service provide your VM.
Most of them (google cloud, openstack....) have a section to config firewall rules to your VMs.

Sure abrx and will try and update you
