problem solved. solution below the question. * * * could someone please help me reconfigure my nginx balancer? i have 3 elk nodes behind a UDP/TCP balancer (round-robin). ``` |----------------| | | | elk-balancer | | | | 80,514,9200 | |----------------| | --------------------------------------- | | | |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| | | | | | | | elk-node-01 | | elk-node-02 | | elk-node-03 | | | | | | | |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| ``` since i updated kibana to 4.3.0 , i cant balance kibana web requests anymore. nginx just hangs there, waiting for for the node to respond... forever...

ok. got it. this is what you need for a fully functional proxy / load balancer answering on [http://my-balancer/kibana/](http://my-balancer/kibana/) #Balancer **nginx** `/etc/nginx/conf.d/elastic-80.server.conf` ``` upstream web { server elk-node-01; server elk-node-02; server elk-node-03; keepalive 5; } server { listen 80; location / { proxy_pass http://web; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection "Keep-Alive"; proxy_set_header Proxy-Connection "Keep-Alive"; } access_log /var/log/nginx/access-80.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error-80.log; } ``` #Nodes **kibana** `/var/www/kibana/config/kibana.yml` ``` # If you are running kibana behind a proxy, and want to mount it at a path, # specify that path here. The basePath can't end in a slash. server.basePath: "/kibana" ``` **apache** `/etc/apache2/sites-available/15-default.conf` ``` ProxyPass http://localhost:5601/ ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5601/ ``` ---

@yodog, I tried following your instructions to setup my apache proxy but it is not working for me. - Do I need to change any configs to account for the fact that kibana is now rendered at /app/kibana# ? (for ex my try to get kibana mounted at /kibana1/ redirects to /kibana1/app/kibana/ which returns a json with a 404 not found error) - I have a bunch of kibana clusters which I want to back behind an alias in apache proxy. How do I do that ? ---

that is all you need to change. copy-paste the errors that you are getting, so we can take a look. ---

@yodog unfortunately It s not working for me. I m using just nginx as web-server with the following configuration: ``` server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name _; location / { uwsgi_pass django; include /opt/das/webapp/uwsgi_params; proxy_http_version 1.1; } location /kibana/ { rewrite /kibana/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://localhost:5601/; } ``` The root and elasticsearch are working fine, the problem is with kibana which is redirected to [http://host/kibana/app/kibana](http://host/kibana/app/kibana) ---
