# AWS ES/Kibana Proxy

AWS ElasticSearch/Kibana Proxy to access your [AWS ES](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/) cluster.

This is the solution for accessing your cluster if you have [configured access policies](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-createupdatedomains.html#es-createdomain-configure-access-policies) for your ES domain

## Usage

#### Install the npm module

    npm install -g aws-es-kibana-xt
#### Set AWS credentials as environment variables as the example below


     export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AIUDUBSUNSKDKSMKMKSNDKSDNSJ"
     export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="sdefescvrefdc/casedfwedfwa"
     export AWS_REGION="eu-west-1"
     export ENDPOINT="search-xxxxx.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com" #this is your ElasticSearch endpoint


#### Run the proxy in two ways
1. if you have set region and endpoint in your environment variables

```aws-es-kibana-xt ```
2. if you have not set region and endpoint in your environment variables 

``` aws-es-kibana-xt  --region eu-west-1 --endpoint search-mykibana-es-uat-testing.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com ```

#### or 

```aws-es-kibana-xt  -r eu-west-1 -e search-mykibana-es-uat-testing.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com```

#### Run within docker container (under review)
