Reading the configuration file I noticed the <code>server_kibana-proxy</code> section and wondered if that meant that <em>elasticsearch</em> could be queried via <em>kibana</em>, and it turns out that yes, you don&rsquo;t have to expose <em>ES</em> port (<code>:9200</code>), you can use <em>kibana</em>&rsquo;s <em>API</em> instead, in particular the <em>console API</em> to be able to query <em>ES</em> directly.</p>
