How do I setup ingress for Kibana in Kubernetes

Turns out the problem was with the kibana configuration.

In the kibana deployment yaml there is an environment variable called SERVER_BASEPATH which is set to point at the kibana service proxy. This was causing the URL to be rewritten each time I tried to access the endpoint externally.

If you comment out this variable and it's value and redeploy kibana then it should work by just hitting the ingress address.

e.g. http://kibana.dev.example1.com/

turns out following environment variables needs to be set in order to expose kibana through ingress:

add following in env in kibana deployment.yaml:

        - name: ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS          value: "http://10.20.30.40:9200"        - name: SERVER_BASEPATH          value: "/kibana"        - name: SERVER_REWRITEBASEPATH          value: "true"        - name: SERVER_PUBLICBASEURL          value: "https://my.domain.com/kibana"

then use following to expose it over ingress:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1kind: Ingressmetadata:  namespace: elastic  name: gateway-ingress  annotations:    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginxspec:  rules:    - host: my.domain.com      http:         paths:          - path: /kibana            backend:              serviceName: kibana              servicePort: 5601
