To do this you have to put Kibana behind a reverse proxy (e.g. apache or nginx) doing this kind of forwarding and then setting the yml setting `server.basePath` to the same value.

It's all explained fairly well here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html)

The base path is the path Kibana is available on, in case of your example `app`.
