==== Kibana server settings
|
||||
|
||||
Reporting uses the Kibana interface to generate reports. In most cases, you don't need
|
||||
to configure Reporting to communicate with Kibana. However, if you use a reverse-proxy
|
||||
to access Kibana, you must set the proxy port, protocol, and hostname.
|
||||
Reporting opens the {kib} web interface in a server process to generate
|
||||
screenshots of {kib} visualizations. In most cases, the default settings
|
||||
will work and you don't need to configure Reporting to communicate with {kib}.
|
||||
However, if your client connections must go through a reverse-proxy
|
||||
to access {kib}, Reporting configuration must have the proxy port, protocol,
|
||||
and hostname set in the `xpack.reporting.kibanaServer.*` settings.
|
||||
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
====
|
||||
If a reverse-proxy carries encrypted traffic from end-user
|
||||
clients back to a {kib} server, the proxy port, protocol, and hostname
|
||||
in Reporting settings must be valid for the encryption that the Reporting
|
||||
browser will receive. Encrypted communications will fail if there are
|
||||
mismatches in the host information between the request and the certificate on the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring the `xpack.reporting.kibanaServer` settings to point to a
|
||||
proxy host requires that the Kibana server has network access to the proxy.
