Kiabana load balancing

Hi

We have configured two ELK instances with Shield , marvel plugin. We are using SSL/TLS encryption in this cluster. My both instances of kibana are accessible using their individual URLs e.g. https://host1:5601 I am trying to configure load balancing for kibana instances using apache load balancer but it is not working.
Is apache load balancer is the correct in this scenario ? If not what other options will be the best to configure kibana load balancing.

Thanks.

Could you share your apache configuration? What exactly isn't working?

If I enter IP and hit I get internal server error if I use https://IP then I get message that , This site can’t provide a secure connection 9.126.112.124 sent an invalid response.

I have added following in httpd.conf

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

<Proxy "balancer://mycluster">
BalancerMember "https://irldxvm081.irl.in.ibm.com:5601"
BalancerMember "https://irldxvm074.irl.in.ibm.com:5601"
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ProxyPass "/" "balancer://mycluster"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "balancer://mycluster"

and in ssl.conf

[root@irldxvm074 conf]# sed -e '/^#/d' /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Hi ,

Did you get chance to look into this ?

One other query -
If I have only 1 ELK server with shield , SSL/TLS encryption on, is it possible to configure apache reverse proxy to https://elkserver:5601
I have tried to configure this but it is not working and not redirecting to 5601 port

Vinod
