in kibana 7.13.4 i can not get rid of next deprecations:

1. **plugins.scanDirs is deprecated and is no longer used**

2. **has been deprecated and will be removed in 8.0. To set the destination moving forward, you can use the "console" appender in your logging configuration or define a custom one. For more details, see [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/server/logging/README.mdx](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/server/logging/README.mdx)**

```auto
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-09-17T16:52:02+03:00","tags":["warning","config","deprecation"],"pid":9350,"message":"plugins.scanDirs is deprecated and is no longer used"}

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-09-17T16:51:20+03:00","tags":["warning","config","deprecation"],"pid":8709,"message":"\"logging.dest\" has been deprecated and will be removed in 8.0. To set the destination moving forward, you can use the \"console\" appender in your logging configuration or define a custom one. For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/server/logging/README.mdx"}

```

P.s. solution from github did not help..  
you can check at your side with  
`cat /var/log/kibana/kibana.log | grep deprecation`

How are running Kibana? Does your kibana.yml contain `plugins.scanDirs`?

I'm stuck with the same point.  
i used:

logging:  
appenders:  
file:  
type: file  
fileName: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log  
layout:  
type: pattern  
loggers:  
- name: plugins.myPlugin  
appenders: [file]

in kibana.yml, but i don't see log in that path  
[as suggested here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/server/logging/README.mdx)

I am having the same deprecation error thrown at console.

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-11-05T05:06:01-04:00","tags":["warning","config","deprecation"],"pid":233169,"message":"plugins.scanDirs is deprecated and is no longer used"}

Would appreciate if support can respond

Thanks.
