I followed this post to configure a reverse proxy using Nginx for Kibana

It is working fine when I access Kibana UI using this proxy, but I can't access the UI directly from browser i.e. connecting to Kibana on 5601, the error is - {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}.

Do I need to configure something more here?

Thanks.

Are you setting `server.basePath` in Kibana.yml? If so, then all requests must include the basepath

Yes, it is set in Kibana.yml and I just load http://kibana\_host:5601/bp in the browser, it redirects to http://kibana\_host:5601/bp/app/kibana but then this json response comes up - {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}
