Unable to embed Kibana dashboard on a reverse proxy server using Nginx

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I am trying to embed a Kibana dashboard using Nginx, but keep getting a blank screen. No errors are thrown (except for the expected "inline script" error), but nothing gets loaded. Kibana is deployed on an Azure cloud, and I don't have admin access, so I am unable to edit the .yaml file. I am trying to embed Kibana in my Angular app using iframe.
Here is my Nginx config file:

worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    }

}

and I also have this in my index.html:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" 
  content="
  script-src 'self' https://<company-name>.azure.elastic-cloud.com:<port> 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval';
  frame-src 'self'https://<company-name>.azure.elastic-cloud.com:<port> 'unsafe-inline';
  style-src 'self' https://<company-name>.azure.elastic-cloud.com:<port> 'unsafe-inline';"

@Fabian_Matesa Welcome to the community!
It looks like you might be missing auth as was the case for this older post.

You can compare your nginx config with the one described in that post.

@cheiligers Have you even read the whole question? There is already Authorization header.
