Hello,  
We are trying to redirect to Kibana through webseal. I just upgraded to KIbana 4.5.3.

Wehn I hit the url http://:5601 it goes to http://:5601/app/kibana

Can anybody tell me where does it takes this /app/kibana/ from? Webseal is not able to find this context root.  
When we hit direct url by hostname and port, it works.

br,  
Sunil.

The option you are looking for is server.basePath, which you can set in config/kibana.yml.

> server.basePath: Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy.

Hello,

My nginx configuration is

```
server{
    listen 8001;
    server_name kibana-test4;

location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5601/;
        #proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:5601/ /kiban4/;
  }
}

```

When I hit url [http://hostName:5601](http://hostName:5601) then ti goes to [http://hostName:5601/app/kibana/](http://hostName:5601/app/kibana/)  
When I hit url [http://hostName:8001](http://hostName:8001) then ti goes to [http://hostName:5601/8001/app/kibana](http://hostName:5601/8001/app/kibana)

Both cases are OK. However I want /central-logging to be the context root in nGinx config.  
I want URL to be [http://hostName:8001/central-logging](http://hostName:8001/central-logging)

br,  
Sunil
