AWS ElasticSearch/Kibana Proxy to access your AWS ES cluster.
This is the solution for accessing your cluster if you have configured access policies for your ES domain
Install the npm module
npm install -g aws-es-kibana
Set AWS credentials
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Run the proxy (do not include the http or https from your cluster-endpoint or the proxy won't function)
aws-es-kibana <cluster-endpoint>
Alternatively, you can set the AWS_PROFILE environment variable
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile aws-es-kibana <cluster-endpoint>
Example
If you are familiar with Docker, you can run aws-es-kibana within a Docker container
Build the image
docker build -t aws-es-kibana .
Run the container (do not forget to pass the required environment variables)
docker run -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 aws-es-kibana -b 0.0.0.0 <cluster-endpoint>
