title: Kibana is not connecting to elasticsearch docker
body: <p>New to ELK stack + docker.</p>
  
  <p>Trying to setup ELK setup locally in docker.</p>
  
  <p>The command used is</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker network create elasticnew --driver=bridge
  docker run --network=elasticnew --name elasticsearchnode -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.6.1
  docker run --network=elasticnew --name kibana -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearchnode:9200 -p 5601:5601 docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.6.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ElasticSeach is up and <a href="http://localhost:9200/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:9200/</a> is giving json response.</p>
  
  <p>But the kibana url (<a href="http://localhost:5601/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:5601/</a>) says "Kibana server is not ready yet" 
  and the request keeps on spinning in browser.</p>
  
  <p>While querying for docker container, it says,</p>
  
  <pre><code>CONTAINER ID:76fe82529fa9       
  IMAGE:docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.6.1

  <p>1.Initially the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker logs kibana 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives empty response immediately. Later on issuing this command, taking time exponentially to reply (Did not see the logs after 5 mins too.)</p>
  
  <p>2.While localhost:9200 in browser too, replicates the above behaviour. 
  <em>(It seems something like, kibana is making the elastic search busy)</em></p>
  
  <p>3.Did inspect on kibana container, and it also says the status as "running". Hereby shared logs too.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;docker inspect kibana
