Hi @veera how are you installing using docker?  
Are you just simply docker run or using a docker compose file?

* * *

We recommend using this example docker compose file for installing:

> **[Docker](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/docker/#sample-docker-compose-file)**
>
> Documentation for Open Distro, the community-driven, 100% open source distribution of Elasticsearch OSS with advanced security, alerting, deep performance analysis, and more.

* * *

If you are simply docker run, please make sure that your kibana host is pointing network to host:  
`docker run -it -d --network="host" amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch-kibana:1.11.0`  
(Note: this works very well on linux but when I test on macos, it is inconsistent)

* * *

Also, if you are using docker-desktop or similar on macos, make sure you have at least 4GB allocated for docker to use, as it stated here:

> **[Docker](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/docker/)**
>
> Documentation for Open Distro, the community-driven, 100% open source distribution of Elasticsearch OSS with advanced security, alerting, deep performance analysis, and more.

Example:
