I know I'm missing some setup of elasticsearch or something like that but can't find it in Kibana pages
Here is the output of
:# metricbeat setup
Exiting: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [Error connection to Elasticsearch [http://192.168.1.92:9200](http://192.168.1.92:9200): Get [http://192.168.1.92:9200](http://192.168.1.92:9200): net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)]
Thanks for any insight
UPDATE:
found the install of elasticsearch|
now I need to enable 0.0.0.0 (not localhost) for :9200
Any guidance?
UPDATE 2:
I set the host in elasticsearch.yml at 192.168.0.92
output of metricbeat setup -e:

Hi,
You set the elasticsearch for a different ip than the one you are using in your metricbeat conf (192.168.0 and 192.168.1).
You could use 0.0.0.0 in your es yaml file maybe?

That got me on the right track. Had to uncomment the port line in es.yml and restart elasticsearch
Thanks!
