Kibana Error Connecting to ElasticSearch using Docker - Cannot Revive Connection

Question

I am getting an error attempting to connect Kibana to ES using Docker containers:

kibana-products-624 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-05-25T14:56:36Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":1,"message":"Unable to revive connection: http://elasticsearch:9200/"} kibana-products-624 | {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2018-05-25T14:56:36Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":1,"message":"No living connections"}

I have tried a number of variations in the environment settings and other configuration for the yml, but continue to get this error.

I have verified that ElasticSearch is running and available at port 9200 using CURL and a browser.

What is wrong with this configuration?

Here is the docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"

volumes:
elasticsearch-products-624-vol:

networks:
elasticsearch-net-624:

services:

elasticsearch-products-624-service:

What happens when you exec 'curl elasticsearch:9200/_cat/health...' from the Kibana container? Mostly looking to verify networking & port accessibility. — Paul Back

ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200 should be changed to: ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch-products-624:9200 to refer to the container that was instantiated above.
