That’s it! Now that you are up and running, it’s time to get some data into Kibana. Kibana will open as soon as your deployment is ready.

If you are using a self-managed deployment, access Kibana through the web application on port 5601.

Point your web browser to the machine where you are running Kibana and specify the port number. For example,
localhost:5601orhttp://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601.To remotely connect to Kibana, set server.host to a non-loopback address.
