Hi, We are evaluating Elastic Cloud mainly for the use of Kibana.

After doing some tests, I have some questions I need to answer prior to decide to use Elastic Cloud.

1. When a chart is embeded into a html file, in this case our application, can we remove the loading/kibana logo from it?
2. In the same Scenario when I embed the chart, as Shield is enabled, it asks for user/pass, is there some kind of token, sso or any other mechanism to authenticate in a seamless way so the user doesn't get asked for this data?
3. We try to embed this charts into a page that already have a date period picker, is there a way to pass the start/end dates to the chart?
4. In ES, Is there a specific format for the date field to be used in Kibana?

Sorry if there is already documentation on this, but if it is, I couldn't find it, and thank you for helping me to evaluate ES.

Hi @gbn,

I moved the questions to Kibana category as we in the cloud team are not experts in that matter. Hope you'll get some good help here.

I can some limitations of the kibana at elastic cloud - namely there are no custom plugins and we do not support custom kibana.yml options yet.

Thanks,  
Igor

Can you point to anything explaining ES Date fields?

I think this is just the regular elasticsearch date format, please see this for more details [format | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-date-format.html)
