Pivot links from Arkime to Dashboards are created with the Zeek WISE data source and translated by NGINX. However, these don't work with external elasticsearch instances.

We should see if this is possible using the DASHBOARDS_URL variable. If it's not, we should detect it and just not create the links.

This is complete. Here's a list of what's been fixed/modified:

  • opensearch.env and dashboards.env environment variables are now provided to nginx-proxy container so that the decisions for these links can be made based on them
  • envsubst is used to expand variables into NGINX conf files in /etc/nginx/conf.d based on templates found in /etc/nginx/templates
  • some custom logic in the docker_entrpoint.sh script for NGINX to do the environment variable substitution and some variable massaging prior to starting up NGINX
  • two new environment variables in dashboards.env.example (blank by default but they could be manually overridden if there's more going on than we can automatically figure out based on the DASHBOARDS_URL variable:
# These values are used to handle the Arkime value actions to pivot from Arkime
#   to Dashboards. The nginx-proxy container's entrypoint will try to formulate
#   them automatically, but they may be specified explicitly here.
NGINX_DASHBOARDS_PREFIX=
NGINX_DASHBOARDS_PROXY_PASS=
  • not 100% related, but the landing page now shows "Kibana" with an elastic icon rather than "Dashboards" if we're in elasticsearch/kibana mode
  • fixed issue with arkime to dashboards links not using correct index and time field names if those are not the defaults (see allow customizing indexes for logs written to OpenSearch/Elasticsearch #313)
  • removed some stuff left over from base image that wasn't ever really used
