HTTP Configuration

Load balancer settings and TLS SANs

By default a ClusterIP service is created and associated with the Kibana deployment. You may want to expose Kibana externally with a load balancer. In which case you may also want to include a custom DNS name or IP in the self-generated certificate.

apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Kibana
metadata:
  name: kibana-sample
spec:
  version: 8.16.1
  count: 1
  elasticsearchRef:
    name: "elasticsearch-sample"
  http:
    service:
      spec:
        type: LoadBalancer # default is ClusterIP
    tls:
      selfSignedCertificate:
        subjectAltNames:
        - ip: 1.2.3.4
        - dns: kibana.example.com

Provide your own certificate

edit

If you want to use your own certificate, the required configuration is identical to Elasticsearch. See: Custom HTTP certificate.

Disable TLS

edit

You can disable the generation of the self-signed certificate and hence disable TLS.

apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Kibana
metadata:
  name: kibana-sample
spec:
  version: 8.16.1
  count: 1
  elasticsearchRef:
    name: "elasticsearch-sample"
  http:
    tls:
      selfSignedCertificate:
        disabled: true
