Kibana docker setup

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I am running Elasticsearch cluster (2 master, 2 data and 1 voter) as docker containers behind a load balanced setup. F5 URL for that looks like https://myelastic.mycompany.com. I am also running Kibana container that connects to the elastic cluster. Kibana's F5 URL looks like https://mykibana.mycompany.com.

I have currently configured my "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS" to be '["http://esdata1.mycompany.com:9200","http://esdata2.mycompany.com:9200"]' and this entire setup works perfectly without any issues.

However I would like to use F5 URL in the "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS" instead of specific cluster instance url. The reason is I have 2 datacenters where the entire stack gets deployed. And for each datacenter, I had to manually update the above environment variable with the correct instance url and I am trying to find a solution to avoid it. Is this even possible?

You should be able to do that, yes.

It didn’t work with load balancer url. It worked with the hostname of the cluster instance. So I went ahead with that.

@warkolm Here is the latest update. It worked with the load balanced url.
