Context: I have been struggling this whole week to get this stack up and running: filebeat -> kafka -> logstash -> elasticsearch - kibana, each one in its own docker (you will find around 3 or 4 other questions mine here without answer resulted from different tentatives). I have decided to downsize the stack and then move block by block untill i reach a final docker-compose. Then I tried the simplest stack I can imagine to push forward the simplest log I can imagine and I am facing the issue mentioned above in my question.
Issue: I am trying to run straight from command line three docker containers: filebeat, elasticsearch and kibana. When I try to start kibana I get "No living connections". I am following carefully the answer provide in another stackoverflow question. Any clue why I am not able to connect from Kibana container to Elasticsearch container?
Here are all three docker commands:
docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" --volume C:\Dockers\simplest-try\esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data --name elasticsearch_container docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2
docker run -d --mount type=bind,source=C:\Dockers\simplest-try\filebeat.yml,target=/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml --volume C:\Dockers\simplest-try\mylogs:/mylogs docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.5.2
docker run -d --name kibana -p 5601:5601 --link elasticsearch_container:elasticsearch_alias -e "ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch_alias:9200" docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.5.2
ElasticSearch is up and running:
C:\Dockers\simplest-try>curl localhost:9200

The Problem is that the three container are separated in terms of networking from each other and/or misconfigured. Let us discuss what is actualy happening and how to fix it:
1. Elasticsearch
You are starting an elasticsearch container named elasticsearch_container:
docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" --volume C:\Dockers\simplest-try\esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data --name elasticsearch_container docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2
So far, so good.
2. Filebeat
As mentioned at the beginning, the containers are separated from each other. In order to make elasticsearch visible for filebeat, you need to create a link:
docker run -d --link elasticsearch_container:elasticsearch --mount type=bind,source=C:\Dockers\simplest-try\filebeat.yml,target=/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml --volume C:\Dockers\simplest-try\mylogs:/mylogs docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.5.2
Please note the container link: --link elasticsearch_container:elasticsearch which is the key here. Now, as the elasticsearch_container is visible to filebeat under the name elasticsearch, we need to change the filebeat.yml in that way:
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["http://elasticsearch:9200"]
Using localhost here is meant from the perspective of the filebeat container, which is unaware of the docker host. So localhost within the filebeat container adresses the filebeat container itself. But with the configuration change above, we changed it to the name of the linked elasticsearch container, what should do the trick.
3. Kibana
Kibana is complaining about missing connection to elasticsearch:
Unable to revive connection: http://elasticsearch:9200
Here it's the same case as for filebeat: elasticsearch is not visible to the kibana container under the name elasticsearch but elasticsearch_alias. Additionally, ELASTICSEARCH_URL is not an expected configuration in the version you are using. elasticsearch.hosts is the correct setting and defaults to http://elasticsearch:9200. And this is the root of the error message: kibana is not recognising ELASTICSEARCH_URL, falls back to the default value and fails because elasticsearch_container is linked as elasticsearch_alias and not as elasticsearch. Fixing this is easy, as we need just to remove ELASTICSEARCH_URL and let kibana fall back to the default. To make elasticsearch visible to kibana, we just apply the same link as we did for filebeat already:
docker run -d --name kibana -p 5601:5601 --link elasticsearch_container:elasticsearch docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.5.2
Important:
Please dispose (stop & remove) the old container instances as they are claiming the container names before executing the discussed changes.
