Hi, We are having an issue while accessing Kibana Dashboard through Nginx reverse proxy. When we add Location block "/" in Nginx.conf for kibana then we are able to access kibana dashboard through "root", in the backend its making all these calls. /api /app /bundles /elasticsearch /kibana /plugins /ui Kibana accessible only if we have just "/" in location block but it's not propery way to access kibana dashboard on Nginx proxy as a root. so when we added location block seprately for each call, "/api, /app, /bundles, /kibana, /plugins, /ui, /elasticsearch....etc", then again it works, this is going to be big mess adding buch of location blocks in nginx.conf Example: Nginx.conf ``` location / { proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection ""; set $proxy_pass http://:5601; proxy_pass http://:5601; proxy_intercept_errors on; } ``` Is there a way we can update Dashboard access instead of / to /kibana into kibana configuration so that we can add only one location block /kibana in Nginx.conf so that in the backend it will make all the calls adding /kibana in prefix? /kibana/api /kibana/app/kibana /kibana/bundles /kibana/elasticsearch /kibana/kibana /kibana/plugins /kibana/ui Please suggest me what will the recomended way to access kibana Dashboard through Nginx reverse proxy, Thanks. ---

You can place this in your kibana.yml: `server.basePath: /kibana` It will do what you are looking for I think. Then you can configure a /kibana block in your nginx config. ---

I have added **server.basePath: /kibana** variable into kibana.yml and restarted kibana service also added location block in nginx with /kibana, when i hit nginx Proxy URL am not able to access dashboard and i see below log into nginx error.log file. Below log is generating only when i hit directly nginx proxy URL without /kibana, if i add /kibana along with URL it's not logging anything in Nginx, attached screenshot of inspect section. _2019/01/10 20:36:52 [error] 17407#17407: \*6711673 "/root/index.html" is forbidden (13: Permission denied)_ ![kibana_dashboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/1/11290070f82cc62da4ec8ff42bb010ff31a6d594.jpeg) Nginx Location block: ``` location /kibana { proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection ""; set $proxy_pass http://:5601; proxy_pass http://::5601; proxy_intercept_errors on; proxy_redirect off; } ``` ---

Not an nginx expert, but I think your proxy\_pass directive is missing /kibana. ---

seems to be working with below location block, thanks for your help. ``` location /kibana { rewrite ^/kibana/?(.*)$ /$1 break; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection ""; set $proxy_pass http://:5601; proxy_pass http://:5601; proxy_intercept_errors on; proxy_redirect off; } ``` ---
