How to connect Kibana with Elastic Enterprise Search in Kubernetes - elasticsearch

Question

I have deployed Elasticsearch, Kibana and Enterprise Search to my local Kubernetes Cluster via this official guide and they are working fine individually (and are connected to the Elasticsearch instance).
Now I wanted to setup Kibana to connect with Enterprise search like this:
I tried it with localhost, but that obviously did not work in Kubernetes.
So I tried the service name inside Kubernetes, but now I am getting this error:
The Log from Kubernetes is the following:
{"type":"log","#timestamp":"2021-01-15T15:18:48Z","tags":["error","plugins","enterpriseSearch"],"pid":8,"message":"Could not perform access check to Enterprise Search: FetchError: request to https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002/api/ent/v2/internal/client_config failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002"}
So the questions is how do I configure my kibana enterpriseSearch.host so that it will work?
Here are my deployment yaml files:
# Kibana
apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Kibana
metadata:
name: quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
enterpriseSearch.host: 'https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002'
# Enterprise Search
apiVersion: enterprisesearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1
kind: EnterpriseSearch
metadata:
name: enterprise-search-quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
ent_search.external_url: https://localhost:3002

I encountered quite the same issue, but on a development environment based on docker-compose.
I fixed it by setting ent_search.external_url value the same as enterpriseSearch.host value
In your case, i guess, your 'Enterprise Search' deployment yaml file should look like this :
# Enterprise Search
apiVersion: enterprisesearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1
kind: EnterpriseSearch
metadata:
name: enterprise-search-quickstart
spec:
version: 7.10.1
count: 1
elasticsearchRef:
name: quickstart
config:
ent_search.external_url: 'https://enterprise-search-quickstart-ent-http.svc:3002'
