I am struggling with pointing Kibana to a subdomain. My domain is hosted on cloudflare and I am trying to point Kibana URL to a subdomain. Do I required to make any changes internally on Elasticsearch or Kibana instances ?
Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this ? Thanks

Hey @ankitdevnalkar,
Hmm, I don't think you need to do much to make it work. Have you already properly set [`server.host`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/settings.html)? If you set that and it still doesn't work, it'd help if you can describe in details what and how doesn't work exactly.
Best,
Oleg

You mean in elasticsearch.yml or Kibana.yml ?

It's a Kibana setting (the link in my post points to Kibana docs for the details), I assumed you wanted to host Kibana on a sub-domain or I got it wrong?

Yes I am trying to point Kibana host to a sub-domain.
