Thanks for your answer, Mark. What would you recommend as the most secure approach? I'm just trying to formulate some sort of argument, however minimal, of Kibana on an ES node or not. I am assuming that *not *having Kibana on the ES node is the more secure setup, as if it were, users would be accessing the cluster directly, versus some external box that communicates with the ES cluster under controlled ports.
