I have set up the logging but there is no output? I have checked the output destination but I cannot find a kibana log file.  
Any ideas why?  
Thanks!

Thank you all for your help! The problem has now been resolved and Kibana security works.

It did indeed need updating to 6.8, however the reason it did not work the first time I updated was because I updated Elasticsearch to 6.8 and Kibana to 7.2. But because I had kept a backup, I rolled back to the original setup and then updated both Elasticsearch and Kibana to 6.8. Worked a treat 😃

Thanks everyone!
