I am newbie to Nginx and reverse proxy

I am struggling to make accessing of kibana through Nginx work with latest versions of Kibana Kibana 5.1.1

This is current config

server {  
listen 8070;  
location ~ /analytics/(?\<kibana\_uri\>.\*) {  
proxy\_pass [https://stag.xxxxx.xxxx.es.amazonaws.com:5601/$kibana\_uri;](https://stag.xxxxx.xxxx.es.amazonaws.com:5601/%24kibana_uri;)  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_set\_header Upgrade $http\_upgrade;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection 'upgrade';  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_cache\_bypass $http\_upgrade;  
}  
}

server.basepath : "/analytics"

I want to redirect all request for /analytics to my kibana server instance. but all I am getting is 404.Please help me with some example config if anyone has done it earlier.

And how should be the access link For eg: [http://server/analytics](http://server/analytics)

Hi @Ramya,

from your config snippet it looks like `$kibana_uri` is not defined. I guess for your purpose you want to assign that name to the regex capture group as in `location ~ /analytics/(?<kibana_uri>.*) {`.

To get `http://server/analytics` to work you probably also need to handle the case of the missing trailing slash. As suggested in [Can someone share nginx config for reverse proxying Kibana4.4/4,5](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-someone-share-nginx-config-for-reverse-proxying-kibana4-4-4-5/46326/9), this might do the trick:

```
location = /analytics {
   return 302 /analytics/;
}
```
