running kibana behind nginx as reverse-proxy (replace '/kibana' with '', if you do not want to access kibana via /kibana)

gistfile1.nginxconf

    location /kibana {
        # rewrite before passing to proxy
        rewrite /kibana/(.*) /$1  break;
        proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5601;
        # include nginx' proxy-defaults
        include proxy_params;

        # serve static stuff directly from the static-directory
        location /kibana/favicon.ico {
            alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/favicon.ico;
        }
        location /kibana/images {
            alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/images;
        }
