Kibana

Kibana

Access Kibana saved objects, dashboards, data views, spaces, alerts, and fleet via managed API authentication.

Quick Start

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/kibana/api/saved_objects/_find?type=dashboard')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('kbn-xsrf', 'true')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/kibana/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to your Kibana instance and automatically injects authentication.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key and the kbn-xsrf header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
kbn-xsrf: true

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai 2. Go to maton.ai/settings 3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Kibana connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=kibana&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'kibana'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Open the returned url in a browser to complete authentication. You'll need to provide your Kibana API key. Use a dedicated, least-privilege Kibana API key for this integration — avoid admin-level credentials unless specifically required. Scope the key to only the spaces and saved object types needed for the task, and remove the connection when no longer needed.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
