mgrafl/elk-devtools-proxy repository overview

A minimal HTTP proxy for forwarding Elasticsearch API calls to the Kibana DevTools Console API.

Designed for containerized environments and supports flexible authentication and SSL options.

⁠Features

• Forwards all HTTP methods and paths to Kibana DevTools Console API
• Supports query parameters and request bodies
• Optional SSL verification skipping
• Configurable logging level
• Optional credential header for authentication (read from stdin, configurable header name)

⁠Usage

⁠Run the container

docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -e KIBANA_URL=https://your-kibana-server/kibana \
  [-e INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY=1] \
  [-e CREDENTIAL_HEADER_NAME=Cookie] \
  [-e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG] \
  mgrafl/elk-devtools-proxy

• KIBANA_URL (required): URL of the Kibana instance (default: http://kibana:5601⁠)
• LOG_LEVEL (optional): Python log level (e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARNING)
• CREDENTIAL_HEADER_NAME (optional): Name of the HTTP header to add for authentication (e.g., "Authorization" or "Cookie"). If set, you will be prompted to enter the value on startup.
• INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY (optional): Set to 1 to skip SSL certificate verification

⁠Examples

Self-removing container without further authentication:

docker run --rm -e KIBANA_URL=https://your-kibana-server/kibana -p 8080:8080 mgrafl/elk-devtools-proxy

Self-removing container skipping server certificate verification, using "Cookie" credential header, logging at debug level:

docker run --rm -i -e KIBANA_URL=https://your-kibana-server/kibana -e INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY=1 -e CREDENTIAL_HEADER_NAME=Cookie -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -p 8080:8080 mgrafl/elk-devtools-proxy
