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

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; ```auto Require valid-user ``` ---

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. ---
