Hi, I am trying to create index pattern .monitoring-es-7\*, but it is giving Forbidden error. Kibana is behind a reverse-proxy. Please help. ---

Hi @gsahu25, Welcome to the discussion boards. We have lots of folks who would be more than happy to help you, but you need to provide more information for us to be of any use to you. What Kibana version are you using? Are you using our security features? If so, what privileges does your account have? Can you provide your `kibana.yml` and `elasticsearch.yml` files, redacting any sensitive information? What are your Kibana and Elasticsearch logs showing when you get this Forbidden error? ---
