Configure the Kibana endpoint
editConfigure the Kibana endpoint
editStarting with Winlogbeat 6.0.0, the Kibana dashboards are loaded into Kibana via the Kibana API. This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
You configure the endpoint in the setup.kibana section of the
winlogbeat.yml config file.
Here is an example configuration:
setup.kibana.host: "http://localhost:5601"
Configuration options
editYou can specify the following options in the setup.kibana section of the
winlogbeat.yml config file:
setup.kibana.host
editThe Kibana host where the dashboards will be loaded. The default is
127.0.0.1:5601. The value of host can be a URL or IP:PORT. For example: http://192.15.3.2, 192:15.3.2:5601 or http://192.15.3.2:6701/path. If no
port is specified, 5601 is used.
When a node is defined as an IP:PORT, the scheme and path are taken
from the setup.kibana.protocol and
setup.kibana.path config options.
IPv6 addresses must be defined using the following format:
https://[2001:db8::1]:5601.
setup.kibana.protocol
editThe name of the protocol Kibana is reachable on. The options are: http or
https. The default is http. However, if you specify a URL for host, the
value of protocol is overridden by whatever scheme you specify in the URL.
Example config:
setup.kibana.host: "192.0.2.255:5601" setup.kibana.protocol: "http" setup.kibana.path: /kibana
setup.kibana.username
editThe basic authentication username for connecting to Kibana. If you don’t
specify a value for this setting, Winlogbeat uses the username specified
for the Elasticsearch output.
setup.kibana.password
editThe basic authentication password for connecting to Kibana. If you don’t
specify a value for this setting, Winlogbeat uses the password specified
for the Elasticsearch output.
setup.kibana.path
editAn HTTP path prefix that is prepended to the HTTP API calls. This is useful for the cases where Kibana listens behind an HTTP reverse proxy that exports the API under a custom prefix.
setup.kibana.space.id
editThe Kibana space ID to use. If specified, Winlogbeat loads Kibana assets into this Kibana space. Omit this option to use the default space.
setup.kibana.ssl.enabled
editEnables Winlogbeat to use SSL settings when connecting to Kibana via HTTPS.
If you configure Winlogbeat to connect over HTTPS, this setting defaults to
true and Winlogbeat uses the default SSL settings.
Example configuration:
setup.kibana.host: "https://192.0.2.255:5601" setup.kibana.ssl.enabled: true setup.kibana.ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"] setup.kibana.ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem" setup.kibana.ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key
