Visualization Editor: Request to Elasticsearch failed:

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I am not able to save/overwrite Dashboards or visualisation.

I get:
Visualization Editor: Request to Elasticsearch failed: "Request Timeout after 30000ms"

I use Kibana: Version: 4.6.3 Build: 10154
Elasticsearch 2.4

I have a Apache running which will listen on port 80 and direct it to port 5601.

Elasticsearch is also running on this machine.

Kibana.yml is default.

Why cant I overwrite objects?

Can you try accessing Kibana directly on port 5601 and see if it works OK in that case?

This is not possible.

We have a apacheproxy running on the host.

Kibana and elasticsearch are on the same host
Port 80 redirects to port 5601
and port 80/elasticsearch is redirected to 9200

And the Kibana config uses the localhost to connect to elasticsearch.

I really dont know why those requests are not working. It´s like PUT and POST are blocked, but I can see some requests in the logs and they are working.

Are you using the apache proxy for authentication? There's some similar issues here;

Specifically a section like this;

<Limit POST PUT DELETE>
  Require valid-user
</Limit>

Hi LeeDr,

we have accomplished the errors.

It was indeed the Apache.
We had to turn off those Settings.

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyErrorOverride Off

After that everything worked. I am not familiar with Apache so I just relay on the experience of my Co Worker.

Thank you for the hint with Apache Limits.
