Use with Elasticsearch Securityedit
If you use Elasticsearch security, you’ll need to enable certain privileges for users that would like to access the Uptime app. Below is an example of creating a user and support role to implement those privileges.
Create a roleedit
You’ll need a role that lets you access the Heartbeat indices, which by default are heartbeat-*.
You can create this with the following request:
PUT /_security/role/uptime
{ "indices" : [
{
"names" : [
"heartbeat-*"
],
"privileges" : [
"read",
"view_index_metadata"
],
"field_security" : {
"grant" : [
"*"
]
},
"allow_restricted_indices" : false
}
],
"applications" : [
{
"application" : "kibana-.kibana",
"privileges" : [
"all"
],
"resources" : [
"*"
]
}
],
"transient_metadata" : {
"enabled" : true
}
}
Assign the role to a useredit
Next, you’ll need to create a user with both the kibana_user, and uptime roles.
You can do this with the following request:
PUT /_security/user/jacknich
{
"password" : "j@rV1s",
"roles" : [ "uptime", "kibana_user" ],
"full_name" : "Jack Nicholson",
"email" : "jacknich@example.com",
"metadata" : {
"intelligence" : 7
}
}
