If both Elasticsearch and Kibana are on the same server, you should not set anything for `elasticsearch.url` or use `localhost:9200`. The problem is it can't connect to `http://swbcfreei361:9200` ---

I know, this is because Kibana can not connect to Elasticsearch. In your kibana.yml you provided you have `elasticsearch.url: http://swbcfreei361:9200`. If it's on the same machine, that value should be localhost:9200. ---
