Hi All,  
My Elasticsearch and kibana is installed on windows VM in Azure both are working fine but I want to access my kibana outside the VM, I have read documents mentioned that change server.host: "0.0.0.0" but when I changed this in Kibana .yml file and tried to access kibana outside VM with myVmpublicip:5601 it's not working.  
Kindly provide me help.

Hi @aman97,

In Azure you will need to add a networking rule to allow access to the port. Networking -\> Add inbound port rule, in this case you are running on 5601, so add this to the rule. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Liza
