Nginx Forward traffic from one URL to Another

I am using elasticsearch cloud and I've been provided a long URL of kibana example.

https://5e765d3c21d84e8f8d6bd362d8bf6564.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243

I have configured the DNS routing in my Google Cloud DNS example:

https://example.com:9243

But when I open the URL i.e example.com it gives me "Unknown Deployment" error. The kibana is working fine on the long URL mentioned above, but somehow it is not routing to the short URL ie. example.com (Was working before but after upgrading to elasticsearch 7.0.0 it doesn't.)

So for that I want to configure Nginx proxy which will forward the traffic from the long URL to the short one. Please help me how to configure it.

What you are asking to do seems a bit ridiculous. What you are looking to do is setup a C name that will point example.com to 5e765d3c21d84e8f8d6bd362d8bf6564.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io. That’s it. Nginx has nothing to do with this and if you add that on top of this it really overcomplicates a (relatively) simple issue. – JakeGould – 2019-05-13T00:02:14.810

I have already added a C name which points the long URL to example.com but it is still showing unknown deployment error in the example.com. I have mentioned that it was resolving properly before upgrading to elastic 7.0.0 but now it is not working. – max johnson – 2019-05-13T07:10:19.223
