I am new here. I did setup the elk and that was running fine until i did sudo yum update.  
Now the status is red. I have attached the screenshot. My elasticsearch version is 5.6.8.  
Thanks.

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================

# 

# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.

# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you

# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.

# 

# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists

# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.

# 

# Please see the documentation for further information on configuration options:

# [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html)

# 

# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:

# 

#cluster.name: aws-billing

# 

# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for the node:

# 

#node.name: Node-aws-billing  
#node.master: true  
#node.data: true

# 

# Add custom attributes to the node:

# 

# node.rack: r1

# 

# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------

# 

# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):

# 

path.data: /opt/vol/elastic-aws-data/elastic-aws

# 

# Path to log files:

# 

path.logs: /opt/vol/elastic-aws-logs

# 

# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------

# 

# Lock the memory on startup:

#bootstrap.mlockall: true

# 

# Make sure that the `ES_HEAP_SIZE` environment variable is set to about half the memory

# available on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this limit.

# 

# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

# 

# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

# 

network.host: "localhost"

# Set a custom port for HTTP:

# 

# http.port: 9200

# 

# For more information, see the documentation at:

# [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html)

# 

# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

# 

# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

# 

# Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number of nodes / 2 + 1):

# 

# discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 3

# 

# For more information, see the documentation at:

# [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery.html)

# 

# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------

# 

# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:

# 

# gateway.recover\_after\_nodes: 3

# 

# For more information, see the documentation at:

# [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html)

# 

# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------

# 

# Disable starting multiple nodes on a single system:

# 

# node.max\_local\_storage\_nodes: 1

# 

# Require explicit names when deleting indices:

#script.default\_lang: "groovy"

# action.destructive\_requires\_name: true

your config file seems ok.

issue is with elasticsearch version please upgrade your elasticsearch version from 5.3.x to 5.6.8 and try.

if already done then  
shutdown all services and start  
first you need to start elasticsearch and then kibana

in kibana.yml file comment on this line:

To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.

server.host: 'localhost'

and i think issue is with version miss match

and as you mention error screen shot you are using ip address to access kibana and in your config file you have localhost so i think this is the issue counted.

if you are using ip then you need to mention that also in config file.

Thanks & Regards,  
Krunal.
