Hello to all!

Note: I'm new to ELK 🙂

I'm using elasticsearch 1.4.0 and I'm trying to enable "http.cors" feature  
in elasticsearch. When I set "http.cors.enabled: true" and  
"http.cors.allow-origin: \*" in config file and then restart, the  
"http.cors" feature doesn't enabled yet and I can't use kibana again.  
What's wrong with my config file?

elasticsearch.conf:

http.cors.enabled: true  
http.cors.allow-origin: "\*"

Reza,

for me I had to set enabled to true and leave out the allow-origin as it  
defaults to \* anyways.

I'm having a the same problem. Kibana is on server A and elasticsearch is  
on server B. Both servers are in a AWS VPC.  
I can curl server B from server A: curl http://:9200/\_nodes?pretty

Sorry!!! (-\_-) Please forgive me....  
I've got 2 running instance of elasticsearch in server and I don't know  
this. I found it by "jps" and I found my own elasticsearch in port 9201 !

Why when I start "elasticsearch -d", It don't say me its "port", "  
cluster.name" and "node.name"; It can be useful, can't?

In my case I faced the same issue cause my web tier is hosted on a  
different domain.  
My configuration is working quite well, I can see the pre-flight (OPTIONS)  
call returning 200 and then subsequent POST or GET being succesfull.

I have used the following configuration:

http.cors.enabled: true  
http.cors.allow-origin: "my regex for my domains"  
http.cors.allow-methods: "OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE"  
http.cors.allow-credentials: true  
http.cors.allow-headers: "X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Content-Length,  
accept, authorization"

You can work with Chrome F12 and verify which are the pre-flight headers  
sent by your application and add them to the parameter  
http.cors.allow-headers
