I have a practice machine to try out the software.  
I'm unable to view the Kibana dashboard using [http://localhost:5601/](http://localhost:5601/).  
I am running Centos 7 and have Elasticsearch and Kibana currently running, started and I am able to ping my IP-address on my interface and localhost. I added my IP address to the hosts' file also. What am I missing?

Hey @pat3526,

You shouldn't need to touch your hosts file for anything to work here.  
Can you post your full kibana log file? Please post the actual contents, rather than screenshots of the log file. This will make searching it much easier.

Thanks!
