just as a local curl command would. To overcome the CORS limitations enforced by browsers, Console's Node.js backend
serves as a proxy to send requests on behalf of the browser. However, if put on a server and exposed to the internet
this can become a security risk. In those cases, we highly recommend you lock down the proxy by setting the
`console.proxyFilter` setting. The setting accepts a list of regular expressions that are evaluated against each URL
the proxy is requested to retrieve. If none of the regular expressions match the proxy will reject the request.
`console.proxyFilter` Kibana server setting. The setting accepts a list of regular expressions that are evaluated
against each URL the proxy is requested to retrieve. If none of the regular expressions match the proxy will reject
the request.
Here is an example configuration the only allows Console to connect to localhost:
[source,yaml]
--------
sense.proxyFilter:
console.proxyFilter:
- ^https?://(localhost|127\.0\.0\.1|\[::0\]).*
--------
Restart Kibana for these changes to take effect.
Alternatively if the users of Kibana have no requirements or need to access any of the Console functionality, it can
be disabled completely and not even show up as an available app by setting the `console.enabled` Kibana server setting to `false`:
[source,yaml]
--------
console.enabled:
- false
