I installed x-pack to add login functionality to Kibana. Is this service paid at the end of 30 days?

it's possible to share dashboards without login page?

Yes, Security is a paid feature in X-Pack after the trial.

> it’s possible to share dashboards without login page?

If you are using Security, then it's enforced everywhere. In order for a user to see a dashboard, they will need access to the underlying documents in Elasticsearch, which will require them to log in. You can export the dashboard using Reporting, but that would only provide them with a snapshot of the information at a point in time.

EDIT: I should note, you could use a reverse proxy to bypass the login for all users if you wanted to. Then all users would effectively run as the same user, but at least the data in Elasticsearch would be protected.
