Configure Kibanaedit

The Kibana server reads properties from the kibana.yml file on startup. The location of this file differs depending on how you installed Kibana. For example, if you installed Kibana from an archive distribution (.tar.gz or .zip), by default it is in $KIBANA_HOME/config. By default, with package distributions (Debian or RPM), it is in /etc/kibana. The config directory can be changed via the KBN_PATH_CONF environment variable:

KBN_PATH_CONF=/home/kibana/config ./bin/kibana

The default host and port settings configure Kibana to run on localhost:5601. To change this behavior and allow remote users to connect, you’ll need to update your kibana.yml file. You can also enable SSL and set a variety of other options. Finally, environment variables can be injected into configuration using ${MY_ENV_VAR} syntax.

console.ui.enabled
Toggling this causes the server to regenerate assets on the next startup, which may cause a delay before pages start being served. Set to false to disable Console. Default: true
csp.script_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy script-src directive.
csp.disableUnsafeEval

[8.7.0] Deprecated in 8.7.0. Use csp.script_src: ['unsafe-eval'] instead if you wish to enable unsafe-eval. This config option will have no effect in a future version. Set this to false to add the unsafe-eval source expression to the script-src directive. Default: true

When csp.disableUnsafeEval is set to true, Kibana will use a custom version of the Handlebars template library. Handlebars is used in various locations in the Kibana frontend where custom templates can be supplied by the user when for instance setting up a visualisation. If you experience any issues rendering Handlebars templates, please set this setting to false and open an issue in the Kibana GitHub repository.

csp.worker_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy worker-src directive.
csp.style_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy style-src directive.
csp.connect_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy connect-src directive.
csp.default_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy default-src directive.
csp.font_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy font-src directive.
csp.frame_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy frame-src directive.
csp.img_src
Add sources for the Content Security Policy img-src directive.
csp.frame_ancestors

Add sources for the Content Security Policy frame-ancestors directive.

The frame-ancestors directive can also be configured by using server.securityResponseHeaders.disableEmbedding. In that case, that takes precedence and any values in csp.frame_ancestors are ignored.

csp.report_uri
Add sources for the Content Security Policy report-uri directive.
csp.report_to:
Add sources for the Content Security Policy report-to directive.
csp.strict
Blocks Kibana access to any browser that does not enforce even rudimentary CSP rules. In practice, this disables support for older, less safe browsers like Internet Explorer. For more information, refer to Content Security Policy. Default: true
csp.warnLegacyBrowsers
Shows a warning message after loading Kibana to any browser that does not enforce even rudimentary CSP rules, though Kibana is still accessible. This configuration is effectively ignored when csp.strict is enabled. Default: true
elasticsearch.maxSockets
The maximum number of sockets that can be used for communications with Elasticsearch. Default: Infinity
elasticsearch.maxIdleSockets
The maximum number of idle sockets to keep open between Kibana and Elasticsearch. If more sockets become idle, they will be closed. Default: 256
elasticsearch.idleSocketTimeout
The timeout for idle sockets kept open between Kibana and Elasticsearch. If the socket is idle for longer than this timeout, it will be closed. If you have a transparent proxy between Kibana and Elasticsearch be sure to set this value lower than or equal to the proxy’s timeout. Default: 60s
elasticsearch.customHeaders
| Header names and values to send to Elasticsearch. Any custom headers cannot be overwritten by client-side headers, regardless of the elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist configuration. Default: {}
elasticsearch.hosts:

The URLs of the Elasticsearch instances to use for all your queries. All nodes listed here must be on the same cluster. Default: [ "http://localhost:9200" ]

To enable SSL/TLS for outbound connections to Elasticsearch, use the https protocol in this setting.

elasticsearch.pingTimeout
Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings. Default: the value of the elasticsearch.requestTimeout setting
elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist
List of Kibana client-side headers to send to Elasticsearch. To send no client-side headers, set this value to [] (an empty list). Removing the authorization header from being whitelisted means that you cannot use basic authentication in Kibana. Default: [ 'authorization' ]
elasticsearch.requestTimeout
Time in milliseconds to wait for responses from the back end or Elasticsearch. This value must be a positive integer. Default: 30000
elasticsearch.shardTimeout
Time in milliseconds for Elasticsearch to wait for responses from shards. Set to 0 to disable. Default: 30000
elasticsearch.compression
Specifies whether Kibana should use compression for communications with Elasticsearch. Default: false
elasticsearch.sniffInterval
Time in milliseconds between requests to check Elasticsearch for an updated list of nodes. Default: false
elasticsearch.sniffOnStart
Attempt to find other Elasticsearch nodes on startup. Default: false
elasticsearch.sniffOnConnectionFault
Update the list of Elasticsearch nodes immediately following a connection fault. Default: false
elasticsearch.ssl.alwaysPresentCertificate

Controls Kibana behavior in regard to presenting a client certificate when requested by Elasticsearch. This setting applies to all outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch, including requests that are proxied for end users. Default: false

When Elasticsearch uses certificates to authenticate end users with a PKI realm and elasticsearch.ssl.alwaysPresentCertificate is true, proxied requests may be executed as the identity that is tied to the Kibana server.

elasticsearch.ssl.certificate and elasticsearch.ssl.key

Paths to a PEM-encoded X.509 client certificate and its corresponding private key. These are used by Kibana to authenticate itself when making outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch. For this setting to take effect, the xpack.security.http.ssl.client_authentication setting in Elasticsearch must be also be set to "required" or "optional" to request a client certificate from Kibana.

These settings cannot be used in conjunction with elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path.

elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities

Paths to one or more PEM-encoded X.509 certificate authority (CA) certificates, which make up a trusted certificate chain for Elasticsearch. This chain is used by Kibana to establish trust when making outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch.

In addition to this setting, trusted certificates may be specified via elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path and/or elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path.

elasticsearch.ssl.keyPassphrase
The password that decrypts the private key that is specified via elasticsearch.ssl.key. This value is optional, as the key may not be encrypted.
elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path

Path to a PKCS#12 keystore that contains an X.509 client certificate and it’s corresponding private key. These are used by Kibana to authenticate itself when making outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch. For this setting, you must also set the xpack.security.http.ssl.client_authentication setting in Elasticsearch to "required" or "optional" to request a client certificate from Kibana.

If the keystore contains any additional certificates, they are used as a trusted certificate chain for Elasticsearch. This chain is used by Kibana to establish trust when making outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch. In addition to this setting, trusted certificates may be specified via elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities and/or elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path.

This setting cannot be used in conjunction with elasticsearch.ssl.certificate or elasticsearch.ssl.key.

elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.password
The password that decrypts the keystore specified via elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path. If the keystore has no password, leave this as blank. If the keystore has an empty password, set this to "".
elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path

Path to a PKCS#12 trust store that contains one or more X.509 certificate authority (CA) certificates, which make up a trusted certificate chain for Elasticsearch. This chain is used by Kibana to establish trust when making outbound SSL/TLS connections to Elasticsearch.

In addition to this setting, trusted certificates may be specified via elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities and/or elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path.

elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.password
The password that decrypts the trust store specified via elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path. If the trust store has no password, leave this as blank. If the trust store has an empty password, set this to "".
elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode
Controls the verification of the server certificate that Kibana receives when making an outbound SSL/TLS connection to Elasticsearch. Valid values are "full", "certificate", and "none". Using "full" performs hostname verification, using "certificate" skips hostname verification, and using "none" skips verification entirely. Default: "full"
elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password
If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana index at startup. Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which is proxied through the Kibana server.
elasticsearch.serviceAccountToken
If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, this token provides the credentials that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana index at startup. This setting is an alternative to elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password.
interpreter.enableInVisualize
Enables use of interpreter in Visualize. Default: true
unifiedSearch.autocomplete.valueSuggestions.timeout logo cloud
Time in milliseconds to wait for autocomplete suggestions from Elasticsearch. This value must be a whole number greater than zero. Default: "1000"
unifiedSearch.autocomplete.valueSuggestions.terminateAfter logo cloud

Maximum number of documents loaded by each shard to generate autocomplete suggestions. This value must be a whole number greater than zero. Default: "100000"

To reload the logging settings, send a SIGHUP signal to Kibana. For more logging configuration options, see the Configure Logging in Kibana guide.

logging.root
The root logger has is a dedicated logger and is pre-configured. The root logger logs at info level by default. If any other logging configuration is specified, root must also be explicitly configured.
logging.root.appenders
A list of logging appenders to forward the root level logger instance to. By default root is configured with the default appender that logs to stdout with a pattern layout. This is the configuration that all custom loggers will use unless they’re re-configured explicitly. You can override the default behavior by configuring a different appender to apply to root.
logging.root.level logo cloud

Level at which a log record should be logged. Supported levels are: all, fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace, off. Levels are ordered from all (highest) to off and a log record will be logged it its level is higher than or equal to the level of its logger, otherwise the log record is ignored. Use this value to change the overall log level. Default: info.

Set to all to log all events, including system usage information and all requests. Set to off to silence all logs. You can also use the logging cli commands to set log level to verbose or silence all logs.

The following example shows a valid verbose logging.root configuration:

logging:
  appenders:
    console_appender:
      type: console
      layout:
        type: pattern
        highlight: true
  root:
    appenders: [console_appender]
    level: all

Default: 1000
migrations.maxBatchSizeBytes
Defines the maximum payload size for indexing batches of upgraded saved objects to avoid migrations failing due to a 413 Request Entity Too Large response from Elasticsearch. This value should be lower than or equal to your Elasticsearch cluster’s http.max_content_length configuration option. Default: 100mb
migrations.retryAttempts
The number of times migrations retry temporary failures, such as a network timeout, 503 status code, or snapshot_in_progress_exception. When upgrade migrations frequently fail after exhausting all retry attempts with a message such as Unable to complete the [...] step after 15 attempts, terminating., increase the setting value. Default: 15

It is recommended to only raise this setting if you are confident your server can hold this many objects in memory. Default: 10000
savedObjects.maxImportPayloadBytes
The maximum byte size of a saved objects import that the Kibana server will accept. This setting exists to prevent the Kibana server from running out of memory when handling a large import payload. Note that this setting overrides the more general server.maxPayload for saved object imports only. Default: 26214400
server.basePath
Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy. Use the server.rewriteBasePath setting to tell Kibana if it should remove the basePath from requests it receives, and to prevent a deprecation warning at startup. This setting cannot end in a slash (/).
server.publicBaseUrl
