Default Kibana setup logs debug of ES queries to daemon.log

Elastic Stack Kibana

I have a 5.3.0 Kibana running on Debian 8 from the ES repo. I'm using filebeat to ingest syslog and it seems that every time I'm looking at Kibana it logs "debug" log messages to my daemon.log. This is flooding my Kibana output which prevents me from seeing log messages that are actually relevant.

    },

}

The only config items I tweaked in kibana.yml are server.port and server.host.

Hello,

You can change this from the kibana.yaml file with one of the following commands:
logging.dest:
logging.quiet:
logging.silent:

You can read more about them here:
