Hi! This is great!

@nakedible-p, did you end up deciding to make this a npm module? Just curious.

Thanks for providing this!

Hi @nakedible-p!

First thanks for your work on this proxy. I try to use it with my fresh AWS ES cluster, but I get this error. Any idea why?

root@kibana ~ # node es-aws-proxy.js 
usage: aws-es-proxy <my-cluster-endpoint>
root@kibana ~ #

root@kibana ~ # node es-aws-proxy.js search-mycluster-XXXXXXXXXXX.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com

I forgot to set correctly my AWS IAM information, now it works better!

root@kibana ~ # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXX
root@kibana ~ # export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYY

@nakedible-p Would you be interested in making it an npm? I'd be happy to setup the project and give you full access. I just want to get this out there for others to use as easily as possible. I've heard from AWS there is a solution coming in the near future to alleviate the need for this, but as of right now this is by far the best solution I've found. Kudos sir!

I wish I had this two months ago, thanks so much! AWS should put it in their docs!

Added an npm module for this aws-es-kibana. Thanks @nakedible-p

getting below error fluentd + proxy. however simple curl (localhost:9200) works fine.

+1 you save my day
I use supervisor to control this, configure with AWS variables
Thanks

+1, this works brilliantly!

Excellent, thank you!

Will this work with IAM Roles ? am little skeptical about using access key and secret access key.
