After some deep leaning about Kibana, i finally find that Kibana will store its data and configuration about dashboard and searches in the backend ES. This way Kibana is just like a proxy and ES serves as the DataBase for it.

So, the answer is yes. Kibana supports High Availability through ES.

You could simply change the server.port value to another free port (ie: something like 6602) in your kibana yml since 5601 is the default. Hence you're pointing to the same ES instance and having two (one running on the default port and the other running on port 6602) kibana instances as well.
