To tunnel port 5601 (often used by Kibana) from a remote server to your localhost, you can use SSH port forwarding. Here’s how you can do it:

Command Syntax

ssh -L [LOCAL_PORT]:[REMOTE_HOST]:[REMOTE_PORT] [USER]@[REMOTE_SERVER]

Specific Example for Kibana

ssh -L 5601:127.0.0.1:5601 your-username@remote-server

Explanation

  1. -L: Specifies the local port forwarding.

  2. 5601:127.0.0.1:5601:

• 5601 (before :): The port on your localhost where you’ll access the service.

• 127.0.0.1:5601 (after :): The address and port of the service on the remote server.

  1. your-username: Replace with your username for the remote server.

  2. remote-server: Replace with the remote server’s IP or domain.

Usage

After running the command, you can open http://localhost:5601 in your browser to access Kibana (or the service running on port 5601).
