I need to disable the CORS for the API.  
I am developing a Tableau connector for Graylog API and the connection is failing as the API server does not allow cross origin requests.

How to disable CORS for REST API?

Basically, I am getting this error when trying to access the API from another domain

No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘[http://127.0.0.1:9000](http://127.0.0.1:9000)’ is therefore not allowed access.

just use the configuration file:

//Edit  
my bad - i had notice to late you are using the OVA. That is actually not possible.
