I'm running:
elasticsearch-1.4.0\_1
logstash-1.4.2\_1
kibana-3.1.1
on FreeBSD 9.3
On initial setup, the prebuilt dashboard: (Logstash Dashboard) at
/index.html#/dashboard/file/logstash.json worked
I added more panels from github. The Logstash Dashboard still worked.
Then it didn't.

I have confirmed elasticsearch is running by browsing to port 9200 and
checking with ps. Yes, it's running.
Next I tried changes to configuration:
$ sudo grep cors /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
http.cors.allow-origin: "/.\*/"
http.cors.enabled: true
I also tried the FQDN of the host, but the results were the same.
No errors are seen in /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log when the
above message is produced.
Google searching led me to the above suggestions. Now I'm at a loss as to
what to try next.
Suggestions please?

SOLVED.
Not sure how, but while messing around with the nginx.conf files, it
started working. Sorry I do not have more information which points
directly to the solution.
