Hi ,

I'm using kibana-4.4.2-linux-x64 version.  
Is it possible to change kibana from http to https ?

BR,

If I understood your question correctly, you want to serve Kibana over https instead of http. To do this, follow the instructions here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl)
