Hi Guys,

I am new to Kibana. I want to change the hostname in Kibana. By default, it is taking the localhost as hostname. Can anyone help me how can I do this?

Hi@akhtar,

You can change the hostname of your Kibana. Kibana has one configuration file in the conf/ folder named kibana.yml. You will find one keyword named server. host set your IP, and your Kibana will run on that IP address.

[root@localhost config]# vim kibana.yml
# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
#server.port: 5601
# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.
# The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.
# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.
server.host: "192.168.99.102"
