Step 4: Update Kibana Proxy Configuration
In the Kibana proxy configuration file (proxy.conf.d/kibana.conf), add the following settings:
ProxyPass /oauth2/* https://your-cognito-domain/oauth2 ProxyPassReverse /oauth2/* https://your-cognito-domain/oauth2
Step 5: Restart Kibana
Restart Kibana for the changes to take effect.
