Hello

I'm experiencing the same issue, as [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/xpack-elastic-host-error/194885)

Since it was not resolved there, I'll try once again.  
What is the proper way to retrieve elasticsearch.hosts in plugin for Kibana?

You can get any value from the kibana config by accessing `server.config().get('{config.key}')`, so to get elasticsearch.hosts you can use

```auto
server.config().get('elasticsearch.hosts')

```
