I have setup heartbeat to monitor kibana instance running in the same namespace (kubernetes) with following config

```auto
    - type: http
      enabled: true
      name: "kibana"
      tags: ["kibana"]
      fields:
        env: production
      schedule: '@every 5s'
      urls: ["http://kibana:5601"]
      ipv4: true
      ipv6: true
      mode: any
      timeout: 20s
      check.request.method: "GET"
      check.response.status: [200]

```

But this check doesn't passes. This is how it shows always

But I am able to `curl http://kibana:5601` from heartbeat pods, here is the sample.

```auto
    $ curl -v http://kibana:5601
    * About to connect() to kibana port 5601 (#0)
    * Trying 192.30.240.53...
    * Connected to kibana (192.30.240.53) port 5601 (#0)
    > GET / HTTP/1.1
    > User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
    > Host: kibana:5601
    > Accept: */*
    >
    < HTTP/1.1 302 Found
    < location: /spaces/enter

    < Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 13:30:13 GMT
    < Connection: keep-alive
    <
    * Connection #0 to host kibana left intact

```

What I am missing here ?

similar check for **elasticsearch** works fine.

Hi @rp346,

It seems like you are checking against code 200, but instance is returning 302 status code.

Regards

Also if there are any redirects involved you may have to use

> **[HTTP options | Heartbeat Reference \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/monitor-http-options.html#monitor-http-max-redirects)**

Good luck
