Hello,

I am deploying OpenVidu pro on Digitalocean and got the below status after running ansible.

![Screenshot 2020-02-24 at 3.27.52 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openvidu/original/1X/c6439734b0925f4cac5b6a58a551337f05698efa.png)

After that, seeing the below message in the terminal.

`TASK [check-app-ready : check every 5 seconds for 60 attempts (5 minutes total) if openvidu is up and ready]`

Then, nothing happens for a while and later getting the below error.

Also, I can see the below error in the `nginx.error` log file.

`connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: video.example.com, request: "GET /inspector/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://IP_ADDRESS:5443/", host: "localhost"`

Could you help me to understand where it went wrong? Thanks.

KIbana is loading fine. The issue now is with the inspector and REST endpoints. The error is `connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream` for both.

Seems like the issue was with the `group_vars` config. I have updated `kms_ips` correctly and the issues got resolved.
