Elasticsearch and HTTP authentication

[jagardaniel]

Hi!

I'm trying to setup elasticsearch which is behind a nginx proxy with HTTP authentication. It works great if I disable auth on nginx, and removes the auth-part from the link, but as soon as it is active, the elasticsearch request fails. The server responds with 401 Unauthorized and I see the same thing in the nginx error log.

As you can see in the image, the request header Authorization: Basic is not being set at all. I guess this is the reason why I receive the 401 response.

I did a console.log(config) in vendor/elasticjs/elastic-angular-client.js, and it seems like the header is there correctly:

config.js:
elasticsearch: "https://user:pass@graphite.domain.com/elasticsearch",

Any ideas?

I have same problem but elastic works and graphite not.

Hmm, strange. Our problem actually solved itself yesterday. I moved my grafana-installation over to the same webhost (graphite.domain.com/grafana) and it started to work. The header is now added in every request both towards graphite and elasticsearch.
