Test config not working

[richbai90]

For some reason I cannot get the test config to work as implemented in the readme. I'm not bothering with authorization at the moment, just setting the X-Proxy-User header and moving on, simply to test that the config is working.

Here are my configs:

nginx

http {
    
server {
  listen 8080;
  listen [::]:8080;

  server_name server.example.com;

  location / {
        #rewrite /sparkle/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://kibana:5601;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        add_header 'X-Proxy-User' 'supportworks';
  }
}

kibana

xpack.spaces.enabled: false
elasticsearch.hosts: [http://localhost:19200]
elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [ X-Proxy-User, cookie ]
own_home.session.secretkey: the-password-must-be-at-least-32-characters-long
own_home.session.isSecure: false
own_home.local.groups: [ common01, common02 ]
own_home.elasticsearch.url: http://elasticsearch:9200
xpack.security.enabled: false
server.host: 0.0.0.0

Kibana Elasticsearch and nginx all run in docker using docker-compose. Nginx is exposed to my local machine on port 80. I can see that the headers are set correctly

But when I go to own home I get nothing

Have I missed anything?

HI, richbai90
with this option elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:19200"] ,
I got error

kibana: FATAL  ValidationError: child "elasticsearch" fails because ["hosts" is not allowed]

Do u have this problem ?
My kibana version is 6.5.4

Hi Yullin,

you can use elasticsearch.url: http://localhost:19200 instead of elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:19200"] in v6.5.4.

@wtakase thanks very much , I was stuck with this for very long time, It's a great help.

and ,your nginx config about x-proxy-user should be "proxy_set_header X-PROXY-USER $remote_user;"
