Hello,

I have my KIbana and Elasticsearch upp and running on AKS but I'm not relying on Elastic Operator, I'm just deploying everything as I would did with docker-compose.

My services are up and Kibana is running as LoadBalancer svc. When I'm trying to access service IP Address, I get error //ERR\_TOO\_MANY\_REDIRECTS

and the request url, after a while looks like this

```auto
http://some-ip-address:5601/app/kibana/login?next=%2Fapp%2Fkibana%2Fapp%2Fkibana%2Flogin%3Fnext%3D%252Fapp%252Fkibana%252Fapp%252Fkibana%252Flogin%253Fnext%253D%25252Fapp%25252Fkibana%25252Fapp%25252Fkibana%25252Flogin%25253Fnext%25253D%2525252Fapp%2525252Fkibana%2525252Fapp%2525252Fkibana%2525252Flogin%2525253Fnext%2525253D%252525252Fapp%252525252Fkibana%252525252Fapp%252525252Fkibana%252525252Flogin%252525253Fnext%252525253D%25252525252Fapp%25252525252Fkibana%25252525252Fapp%25252525252Fkibana%25252525252Flogin%25252525253Fnext%25252525253D%2525252525252Fapp%2525252525252Fkibana%2525252525252Fapp%2525252525252Fkibana%2525252525252Flogin%2525252525253Fnext%2525252525253D%252525252525252Fapp%252525252525252Fkibana%252525252525252Fapp%252525252525252Fkibana%252525252525252Flogin%252525252525253Fnext%252525252525253D%25252525252525252Fapp%25252525252525252Fkibana%25252525252525252Fapp%25252525252525252Fkibana%25252525252525252Flogin%25252525252525253Fnext%25252525252525253D%2525252525252525252Fapp%2525252525252525252Fkibana%2525252525252525252F

```

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error actually. I was not expecting that ingress will be needed.  
Do I have to use nginx? Can someone help me with basic configuration?

I've tried to access kibana as:

```auto
http://nginx-svc-ip-address
http://nginx-svc-ip-address/app/kibana

```

but it does not change anything  
I've created some basic nginx setup but it end up with the same errors:

nginx.conf

```auto
events { }

http {
    server {
        listen 80;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://10.0.3.70:5601;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
            }
    }
}

```

logs from nginx:

Ok, I was able to solve this issue myself. Below you can find nginx.conf which I have used:

```auto
events { }

http {
    server {
        listen 80;

        location /app/kibana/ {
            proxy_pass http://10.0.110.19:5601;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_redirect off;
            }
    }
}

```

kibana.yml:

```auto
    ## Default Kibana configuration from Kibana base image.
    ## https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/dev/build/tasks/os_packages/docker_generator/templates/kibana_yml.template.js
