I would like for elements in Kibana, on my app, to be links. My thought was to make them links using JQuery once the iframe is finished loading. This creates a CORS error. Is there any sort of config to allow Cross Origin Resource Sharing in the Kibana iframe that is copied from the 'share vsualization' embed field?
You can add server.cors values to you kibana.yml file, which we pass directly to the server. See the source here
I believe the Hapi docs that explain how to use this are right here (scorll down a bit).
Hi Joe. I know this is a bit old topic but it's the exact question I would ask anyway and the answer is a bit incomplete. Hapi docs don't explain anything. At least I couldn't make it work. How to set an object to a kibana setting?
How do you add the allow-origin to this feature please? In kibana.yml I add
server.cors : true
Then I can see cors headers are added but I cannot add allow-origin values. I have tried
server.cors : "origin : ['*']"
server.cors.origin : "*"
etc. but no luck. Does anyone know how to do this?
From the Hapi docs:
CORS headers are disabled by default. To enable, set cors to true, or to an object with the following options: ...
So either of these should work:
Setting cors to true
server.cors: true
Setting origin to star
server.cors.origin: "*"
You've tried both, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. What's the issue you're having? And what header values do you see?
It does enable CORS. I can see headers but it only allows to itself which is practically no CORS.
So it enables requests from Kibana port 5601 as seen in pic. But I need to do it from a NodeJs app served from different port (Let's say 3000)
But I've found a way to do it using NGINX. I just need to open another port to be the reverse proxy for Kibana. Then I can set origin to what I want. But I couldn't make Hapi way to work.
What do the headers look like if you use server.cors.origin: "*" (and remove server.cors: true)?
If I add server.cors.origin: "*" (with or without server.cors : true) Kibana fails to restart. It doesn't seem to be a valid usage in yml file.
When I "systemctl status kibana":
Process: 2986 ExecStart=/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana -c /etc/kibana/kibana.yml (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Ah, yeah, that does indeed produce an error:
[1] "origin" must be an array
Sorry about that. Looks like this is the right config:
server.cors.origin: ['*']
Still no luck. When I update yml file status stays Green for a while (around 15 secs.) Then turns red.
What's failing? You should see what thing is going red in the output from the Kibana server.
Also, any chance you can share your whole kibana.yml? You can remove passwords and the like.
kibana.yml file is quite simple almost all the lines from the original are commented out except below:
server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
elasticsearch.url: "http://elasticsearch.mycloud:9200"
server.cors.origin: ['*']
Below is what I see when I run status. When I comment out the line with the cors it turns green again.

It looks like Kibana isn't starting correctly. I think there's some other issue here besides just CORS. Maybe that config value is still wrong...
The systemd output isn't super helpful, seeing the actual Kibana logs might give some hints. According to our docs, you can find the logs in /var/log/kibana. Alternatively, I believe systemd uses journald for logging, and that you can view the kibana logs using journalctl -fu kibana.service.
