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...

GET [http://elk-balancer/kibana](http://elk-balancer/kibana)

`/var/log/nginx/access-80.log`

but elasticsearch, logstash, pen and rsyslog are working fine.
