Cookie issue with Kibana behind a load balancer

[jsu]

Hey folks,

As stated in the title, I was having issues with cookies of kibana instances behind a load balancer and even after taking into consideration what's written on the page concerning Kibana in production, it didn't work.

I found the solution on the following topic:
Random Logout of Multiple Load Balanced Kibana on Multiple Elasticsearch Clusters

Not being able to answer the proper topic, I just created this one to say that the idea of @ea1987 to have this behavior documented inside the above-mentioned page is very relevant and would make a lot of sense.

Let me know if it's not the right place for this proposition.

Cheers,

Julien

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your answer. Sure I can file an issue tomorrow, no problem. And I would gladly open an PR also but I might need help as I've never done it on an open source (or almost ) project before.

I'll work on this tomorrow and I'll come back to you if I have any issue then!
