Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello, I have kibana running behind a reverse proxy (nginx). I have set my yml like this (note that the index of kibana is not the default one):


server.basePath: "/bigdata"
elasticsearch.url: "http://aaa-2.flightwatching.com:9200"
kibana.index: .kibana-revima
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"

xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.port: 443
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.protocol: https
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.hostname: aaa.flightwatching.com

my nginx conf is the following:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name    aaa.flightwatching.com;
  rewrite        ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {

      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }


}

but I get the max attempts reached (3) issue when trying to create a report.

can you explain me why it can hapend?

If you are running behind a reverse proxy (as you do), you need to provide some addition information in the kibana.yml configuration for reporting - Reporting settings in Kibana | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic. The actual values might depend on your actual architecture.

Hope this helps

As you can see in my kibana.yml, I did follow the documentation you are kindly mentioning.

Nevertheless, nothing is generated. Plus, I cannot see any message in the kibana.log that I can take advantage.

here is a content copy of the section I have implemented:

Kibana Server Settingsedit

Reporting uses the Kibana interface to generate reports. In most cases, you don’t need to configure Reporting to communicate with Kibana. However, if you use a reverse-proxy to access Kibana, you must set the proxy port, protocol, and hostname.

xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.port
The port for accessing Kibana, if different from the server.port value.
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.protocol
The protocol for accessing Kibana, typically http or https.
xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.hostname
The hostname for accessing Kibana, if different from the server.name value.

Hello,

any help would be appreciated. Maybe it is necessary I reformulate?

to add something to the mill, here are the nginx logs regarding my kibana instance
