Hi Team,

I have installed es cluster v `7.16.2`.

kibana is installed on two servers. If kibana service is running on both servers, then i am not able to login to kibana.  
If its stopped on one of the server, then able to login to kibana.

The request to kibana server is going through aws alb.

Below are the details.

kibana config -

```auto
[root ~]# cat /etc/kibana/kibana.yml

server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
server.name: kibana_1
path.data: /new/lib/kibana

elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000

elasticsearch.hosts: ['http://es_1:9200', 'http://es_2:9200', 'http://es_3:9200']
elasticsearch.username: "elastic"
elasticsearch.password: "xxxx"
[root ~]#

```

in `dev tools`, it is showing `401` error for `https://kibana.ab.com/api/licensing/info`.

`statusCode is 401, error is Unauthorized, message is Unauthorized.`

Below are kibana logs -

below alb health check logs are appearing continuously.

```auto
{"type":"response","@timestamp":"2021-12-13T11:18:40+00:00","tags":["api"],"pid":7789,"method":"get","statusCode":401,"req":{"url":"/api/status","method":"get","headers":{"host":"kibana2_ip:5601","connection":"close","user-agent":"ELB-HealthChecker/2.0","accept-encoding":"gzip, compressed"},"remoteAddress":"load_balancer_ip_1","userAgent":"ELB-HealthChecker/2.0"},"res":{"statusCode":401,"responseTime":26,"contentLength":66},"message":"GET /api/status 401 26ms - 66.0B"}

```

In AWS, in the target group, i have mentioned `/api/status` endpoint for health check and status code as 200,401. I have not mentioned elastic username, password there.

Does it work if you provide the auth details?

Not. I am not seeing the option anywhere to mention username, password, hence added 401 to pass the health check.
