I am getting a fatal error.
FATAL Error: Unknown configuration key(s): "elastic.username", "elastic.password". Check for spelling errors.
I have already added the correct configuration keys. I have no idea where kibana is getting these keys from because they are not in my kibana.yml file. elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password are the keys i am using in the kibana.yml file.
Did you mean to set elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password?
Reference: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html
I have set elasticsearch.username and elasticsearch.password in the kibana.yml file. For some odd reason it is saying that I have elastic.username and elastic.password as configuration keys, but they are not in my kibana.yml file
No i do not. I have used the correct configuration keys. I am confused on where these are coming from.
Could you share your complete kibana.yml as well as your OS, Kibana version and way of install (docker, zip file, ...)?

I sent you the yml file and all the info you asked for. I need to figure this out two days ago.
Here is the error I am seeing.
kibana[20033]: FATAL Error: Unknown configuration key(s): "elastic.username", "elastic.password". Check for spelling errors
elastic.username or password is not in my yml file
I’m not sure what’s causing this error, I’m guessing it’s picking up another config file and the one you sent is not the one Kibana is seeing when starting up. Is there somewhere else on you system another file called “kibana.yml”? Where is the file located you are editing?
Thats why i came to yall. I am using /etc/kibana/kibana.yml. There is no other config file. Would you know of a path that might have config? I checked /usr/share/kibana and nothing. I even tried /opt/kibana, but nothing.
@compengineer could you for instance share the result of running bin/elasticsearch-keystore list ?
keystore.seed is that i get from the /bin/elasticsearch-keystore list command.
@compengineer what is the command you're using to run Kibana? Could you try to use --config <path> and set path to the kibana.yml file you want to use?
problem solved. It was in the kibana-keystore. I deleted those keys and no longer getting that failure. Thank @tiagocosta for suggesting the keystore.
