Hey, after a long day with no success I finally conceded that I need to ask  
for help. I am running ES 1.4 with kibana 3.1.2 hosted on ngnix both on  
the same machine (I have done the cors work around). Whenever I try to  
save a new dashboard or retrieve it, it results in a blank page, it appears  
in ES as an entry, there is an index for kibana-int but the \_source is  
blank for the dashboard. Kibana is connecting to ES and I can run queries  
through the default dashboard so I know at least it is connecting.

the following is from elastic-head  
{  
"\_index": "kibana-int",  
"\_type": "dashboard",  
"\_id": "Demo1",  
"\_version": 1,  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": { }  
}

The only exception I see in the javascript console is:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'interval' of undefined  
at dash\_load (http:///app/app.js:21:25945)  
at f (http:///app/app.js:21:28755)  
at http:///app/app.js:14:4667  
at i (http://app/app.js:9:458)  
at http:///app/app.js:9:1014  
at Object.f.$eval (http:///app/app.js:9:6963)  
at Object.f.$digest (http:///app/app.js:9:5755)  
at Object.f.$apply (http:///app/app.js:9:7111)  
at f (http:///app/app.js:9:11507)  
at r (http:///app/app.js:9:13216)

I would appreciate any help as this is a real blocker for me at the moment.

Thanks

Will

Tried a clean install with ES 1.3.7 and Kibana 3.1.2 and still the same  
issue. I must be missing something with permissions or nginx, as I tried  
the same combination on windows using python simple server and it worked.

It'd help if you could gist/pastebin/etc your nginx and kibana configs.

Hey,

The nginx config I was using was just the default from a fresh install of  
nginx, I just placed the Kibana files in the default /usr/share/nginx/html  
folder. I have also tried the config recommended for nginx from the  
kibana3 github branch  
@ [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elasticsearch/kibana/kibana3/sample/filtered-alias-example/nginx.conf](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elasticsearch/kibana/kibana3/sample/filtered-alias-example/nginx.conf)  
with no success.

The config.js for kibana just has the following modification elasticsearch:  
"http://:9200",

When I save the dashboard, it does create the entry, just doesn't save any  
source which is what gets me, it is obviously establishing a connection and  
able to write back to ES.

Ok, so after a couple of more tries I finally got it to work. It seems I  
had changed the cluster name to a custom in the elasticsearch.yml config  
i.e "d-elasticsearch" but when I remove that and left it use the standard  
it worked fine.
