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`

```
<Location /kibana/>
    ProxyPass http://localhost:5601/
    ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5601/
</Location>
```
