Good Afternoon,

I run Elastic Stack 8.17.2. My ELK stack is installed on a "Reporting" server, while my application is installed on a separate "Application" server. My application relies on sending Short URLs to Kibana.

I need to update Kibana to the latest 8.x/9.x version to resolve Node.js vulnerabilities.  
With the latest Kibana updates (8.18.x / 9.x), short URLs are no longer permitted to be sent from remote hosts, by default.

Is there any way to override this in an external configuration so that I can continue sending short URLs from my application server to my reporting server?
