Knowledge base artifact settings for AI Assistants

The xpack.productDocBase settings configure how Kibana reaches Elastic’s public artifact repository, from which Kibana lists and downloads knowledge base artifacts for AI Assistants. Most deployments use the default base URL of the artifact repository and only need outbound access to Elastic’s CDN.

xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryUrl

The base URL of the artifact repository from which Kibana lists and downloads knowledge base artifacts for AI Assistants. Defaults to https://kibana-knowledge-base-artifacts.elastic.co, Elastic’s public artifact host URL. Leave the default when Kibana can reach that base URL over the internet.

If the default host is unreachable or not permitted, set xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryUrl to the HTTP or HTTPS base URL of a repository you operate that mirrors Elastic’s artifacts, for example, a private mirror or internal endpoint in a restricted or isolated network.

To read artifacts from a directory on the filesystem of the host where Kibana runs, use a file:// base URL (for example file:///path/to/artifacts).

Data type: string

xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryProxyUrl

The HTTP or HTTPS URL of a proxy server that Kibana uses only for traffic to the base URL in xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryUrl. It applies to the same outbound requests Kibana uses to list available artifacts and download ZIP files from that remote base URL. Unset by default. When unset, Kibana sends those requests directly to the host named in xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryUrl with no proxy.

Set this when outbound connections from Kibana to the artifact repository base URL (Elastic’s CDN, a private mirror, or an internal endpoint) must go through your network’s HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

When xpack.productDocBase.artifactRepositoryUrl uses the file:// scheme, this setting has no effect because Kibana reads artifacts from the filesystem on the Kibana host and does not issue HTTP or HTTPS requests to that repository base URL.
