<p>In GCP kubernetes I have 2 clusters of different region, in both I have deployed Elasticsearch,Kibana operator &amp; logs pushed by filebeat runs in a container along with application container in same pod.</p>
<p>I have plan to deploy ElasticSearch, Kibana operator in every cluster, thus looking for feasibility to have a centralized kibana without an Elasticsearch for that centralized kibana as I dont want to spend money buying storage for centralized elasticsearch to store all other region cluster's logs.</p>
<p><strong>Expectation:</strong> will have a centralized kibana and I will configure other kibana's IP &amp; password in it and my query should go over the cluster's kibana fetch/return data to central kibana.</p>
<p>Is it possible? any alternates suggestions please..</p>

<p>Kibana needs elastic search for storing configuration data. So you may add one small elastic node with centralized Kibana.</p>
<p>Then connect to external elastic search servers. <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/working-remote-clusters.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/working-remote-clusters.html</a></p>
