How to send a request to remote server from kibana?

Question

I have a problem. My problem is trying to access a remote server by query from kibana. I accessed my private host address from Elasticsearch and created an index here and transferred some data. I want to see this index and data from kibana, but I was able to access kibana from localhost:5624. Previously, I could not access the kibana.yml file by changing the following information:

my kibana.yml file:
server.port: xxxx
server.host: "xx.xx.xxx.xxx"
server.name: "my_server_name"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:xxxx"]
elasticsearch.username: "my_user_name"
elasticsearch.password: "my_password"

Maybe this problem can be solved by sending request from kibana to remote server but when i run this queries it also gave error.

GET https://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/my_index_name/_search
{
   "query": {
       "match_all": {}
    }
}

or

GET xx.xx.xxx.xxx/my_index_name/_search
{
   "query": {
       "match_all": {}
    }
}

or

GET xx.xx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/my_index_name/_count?pretty

Error:

#! [types removal] Specifying types in search requests is deprecated.
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "index_not_found_exception",
        "reason" : "no such index [xx.xx.xxx.xxx]",
        "resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
        "resource.id" : "xx.xx.xxx.xxx",
        "index_uuid" : "_na_",
        "index" : "xx.xx.xxx.xxx"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "index_not_found_exception",
    "reason" : "no such index [xx.xx.xxx.xxx]",
    "resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
    "resource.id" : "xx.xx.xxx.xxx",
    "index_uuid" : "_na_",
    "index" : "xx.xx.xxx.xxx"
  },
  "status" : 404
}

I will be happy so much if you help me. Thank you so much.

Well as the error message states: the index you're sending the search request against does not exist. Make sure to create an index before you search it.

Also: No index means no data. Before searching, complete the following steps:

1.) Create index

2.) Ingest documents into that index

3.) Search

If you are using Logstash with an Elasticsearch output, Logstash creates the configured index for you but not until Logstash sends data to Elasticsearch.

I hope I could help you.
