Hello there guys,

I have kibana 8.11.1 running, went to `stack management` and to `advanced settings`, I search for `discover:` or `esql` and the only option showing up is `discover:enableSql`, the option `discover:enableESQL` is not showing up, is there something else I have to do?

Thank you.

Hi @ton1uwu  
Not sure what your issue is right there on my 8.11.1

It should be enabled by default
