What is port 5601?
Port 5601 is used by Kibana, the visualization and analytics layer of the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). It provides dashboards, a search interface, and analytics for data stored in Elasticsearch. Kibana must be protected with authentication — an exposed instance can reveal sensitive log data, security events, and application internals.
