Hi @niraj_kumar,

there is a [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/playing-http-tricks-nginx) 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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) 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:

- [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-someone-share-nginx-config-for-reverse-proxying-kibana4-4-4-5](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-someone-share-nginx-config-for-reverse-proxying-kibana4-4-4-5)
