You can use these credentials to authenticate when using the HTTP Request node to make a Custom API call.

Prerequisites#

  • Create an Elasticsearch account.
  • If you're creating a new account to test with, load some sample data into Kibana. Refer to the Kibana quick start for more information.

Supported authentication methods#

  • Basic auth

Refer to Kibana's API documentation for more information about the service.

This is a credential-only node. Refer to Custom API operations to learn more. View example workflows and related content on n8n's website.

To configure this credential, you'll need:

  • The URL you use to access Kibana, for example http://localhost:5601
