Hi @niraj_kumar,

there is a blog post talking about deploying Elasticsearch behind nginx. Most of it would also be applicable for Kibana (with different ports, obviously). In addition, the following Kibana settings might need adjusting - depending on the specific environment:

  • server.host
  • server.port
  • server.basePath

If you have also deployed the X-Pack, these settings could be of interest:

  • xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.hostname
  • xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.port

Some other users have shared information about their reverse proxy setups preciously on this forum:

I noticed that Timelion was still not loading correctly. I've added the missing entries
