Hello again,

Trying to get Marvel's dashboard working behind Nginx. Everything works if I bypass Nginx by going to [http://myserver:9200/\_plugin/marvel/](http://myserver:9200/_plugin/marvel/). Going through Nginx by going to [http://my-server/marvel/](http://my-server/marvel/) gives me an empty dashboard. Url goes up to [http://myserver/marvel/kibana/index.html#/dashboard](http://myserver/marvel/kibana/index.html#/dashboard) and then stops.

With Nginx:

Without Nginx:

Nginx sites-available:

```
server {
    listen 80;

    auth_basic "Restricted Access";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd.users;

    location /kibana/ {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:5601/;
        proxy_read_timeout 90;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Authorization '';
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
     }

     location /marvel/ {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel/;
        proxy_read_timeout 90;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Authorization '';
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
     }
}

```

Nginx error logs show the following:

```
2015/09/24 14:58:42 [error] 19623#0: *241 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/_nodes" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: <my public ip>, server: , request: "GET /_nodes HTTP/1.1", host: "my-server", referrer: "http://my-server/marvel/kibana/index.html"

```

It's trying to get /\_nodes, but is looking for it in Nginx's own directory.

The only mentions of \_nodes I could find below:

> **./plugins/marvel/\_site/sense/app/kb/api\_0\_90/nodes.js** :define(,function(){return function(n){n.addEndpointDescription(" **\_nodes** /hot\_threads",{methods:["GET"],patterns:[" **\_nodes** /hot\_threads"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/hot\_threads"]})}});

> **./plugins/marvel/\_site/sense/app/kb/api\_1\_0/nodes.js:define([],function(){return function(e){e.addEndpointDescription("\_nodes**/hot\_threads",{methods:["GET"],patterns:[" **\_nodes** /hot\_threads"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/hot\_threads"]}),e.addEndpointDescription(" **\_nodes** /info",{patterns:[" **\_nodes**","\_nodes/{metrics}"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/{metrics}"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/info/{metrics}"],url\_components:{metrics:["settings","os","process","jvm","thread\_pool","network","transport","http","plugins","\_all"]}}),e.addEndpointDescription(" **\_nodes** /stats",{patterns:[" **\_nodes** /stats"," **\_nodes** /stats/{metrics}"," **\_nodes** /stats/{metrics}/{index\_metric}"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/stats"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/stats/{metrics}"," **\_nodes** /{nodes}/stats/{metrics}/{index\_metric}"],url\_components:{metrics:["os","jvm","thread\_pool","network","fs","transport","http","indices","process","breaker","\_all"],index\_metric:["store","indexing","get","search","merge","flush","refresh","filter\_cache","id\_cache","fielddata","docs","warmer","percolate","completion","segments","translog","query\_cache","\_all"]}})}});

Can you paste the entire config. Including where the root is pointing to.

You need to proxy /\_nodes to your elasticsearch instance. Add in:

location /\_nodes {  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_ignore\_headers Cache-Control;  
proxy\_pass [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes;](http://localhost:9200/_nodes;)  
proxy\_read\_timeout 90;  
proxy\_redirect off;  
proxy\_set\_header Authorization '';  
proxy\_set\_header Connection "";  
proxy\_set\_header Host $http\_host;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;  
}

Or simply add a default proxy to send everything to your ES instance if your security circumstances allows it.

I tried the above config but still having issues. Marvel comes up but no data, with the url :9200/\_plugin/marvel is see the clients.... we are only allowed to expose port 80 or 443 so  
without a working setup we can use Marvel, fyi the kopf plugin works just find...

full config

server {

```
listen 80 ;
server_name marvel.internal.momo.net;

location /marvel/ {
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel/;
    proxy_read_timeout 90;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

location /_nodes {
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9200/_nodes;
    proxy_read_timeout 90;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

```

ES 1.7.3 with latest Marvel 1.3
