Hello,

Something like this works for me:

> set $proxy\_pass\_url [http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601);  
> #Main location which proxy's Kibana backend server  
> location / {  
> proxy\_set\_header Host $proxy\_pass\_url;  
> proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
> proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
> proxy\_set\_header Connection "Keep-Alive";  
> proxy\_set\_header Proxy-Connection "Keep-Alive";  
> proxy\_set\_header Authorization "";  
> proxy\_pass $proxy\_pass\_url/;  
> proxy\_redirect $proxy\_pass\_url/ /;  
> }# Reverse proxy of assets and front end app  
> location ~ (/app|/translations|/node\_modules|/built\_assets/|/bundles|/es\_admin|/plugins|/api|/ui|/elasticsearch|/spaces/enter) {  
> proxy\_pass $proxy\_pass\_url;  
> proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
> proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
> proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
> proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;  
> proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-Host $http\_host;  
> proxy\_set\_header Authorization "";  
> proxy\_hide\_header Authorization;  
> }
