Elasticsearch url from Kibana

Question

I am trying to find out the url of the elasticsearch configured in kibana. but i dont have access to the backend configurations. Is there a way to see which elasticsearch url has been configured in kibana using the kibana front end.

Thanks

No, I dont think so. Kibana REST API also does not allow reading or modifying config file. Unless you have access to Kibana instance I dont think you can find out the ES end point. — ben5556, Oct 22 '18 at 06:28

If you don't have access to the Monitoring you could use Dev Tools and query all nodes in the connected ES cluster using query GET /_nodes, like this: screenshot with GET /_nodes command

Use GET / in the kibana console and this will give your elastic search database url name.

If you have the X-Pack Monitoring plugin enabled, you can go to "Monitoring > Elasticsearch > Nodes" and you can see the nodes that are reachable from Kibana.
