Static Private IP for Kibana

[aantony2]

Is it possible to add static IP address parameter for Kibana instance ?

Hey @agnelantony2, what problem would adding a static private IP address for Kibana solve for you? I'd be keen not to increase the complexity of the template further if it can be avoided.

You can obtain the private IP address of Kibana after deployment, if you need it

through Azure CLI 1.0:

azure network nic ip-config show <resource-group> <hostname-prefix>kibana-nic ipconfig1

where

• <resource-group> is the name of the resource group
• <hostname-prefix> is the value provided for vmHostNamePrefix parameter

this returns

info:    Executing command network nic ip-config show
+ Looking up the network interface "<hostname>kibana-nic"
data:    Private IP Address              : 10.0.0.8

data:    Provisioning State              : Succeeded
data:    Name                            : ipconfig1
data:    Etag                            : "etag"
info:    network nic ip-config show command OK

You can also get it through Azure CLI 2.0 or PowerShell.

Additionally, the Kibana VM can be addressed by its hostname on the VNet.

We aren't using public IPs on Kibana to access the UI. Kibana will be accessed behind a DMZ. If I add private IP for Kibana, we can predict and add that IP to load balancer for every deployment.
