Hello. I am using elk stack 7.6.2. When I introduce server.basePath parameter in kibana.yml the browser tends to go in an indefinite loop.

Please advise.

Hi ,  
I think you are hitting this bug [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/36825](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/36825). We're actively investigating a solution, but in the mean-time if you close your browser and re-open it, or clear your cookies, you should get out of the infinite redirect.  
Logs will be helpful

Thanks  
Rashmi

Thanks. Looks like the bug is marked closed. So is clearing browser cookies or closing / reopening browser the only option to make new context root work?

Regards

Thanks. It was fixed by adding server.basePath and server.rewriteBasePath values
