Our support team struggles with the way Kibana logs its messages in the log file. They find JSON messages overwhelming. Is there any way we can change the log messages pattern (even if it is in JSON)??

We are using Kibana 5.6.8

There is currently no way to customize Kibana logs, apart from configuring the level of logging: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.6/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.6/settings.html)

Thanks a lot but we were explicitly looking for customising the log message format.
