FATAL Error: [config validation of [elasticsearch].username]

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello Team,

I had Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana v7.16.2 with xpack security based login enabled, So today i had upgraded my ELK versions to 8.6.1 using my docker-compose file, but when i start the kibana container it always fails with below errors.

kibana           |  FATAL  Error: [config validation of [elasticsearch].username]: value of "elastic" is forbidden. This is a superuser account that cannot write to system indices that Kibana needs to function. Use a service account token instead.

My docker-compose file's Kibana section as follows.

  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.6.1
    container_name: kibana
    environment:
      ELASTICSEARCH_URL: "http://elasticsearch:9200"
      ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME: "elastic"
      ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD: "password1234"
    ports:
      - 5601:5601
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch

Through online sources i had created service token by connecting my elasticsearch container. using cli

$ elasticsearch-service-tokens create elastic/kibana kibana_token
SERVICE_TOKEN elastic/kibana/kibana_token = AAEAAWVsYXNwedvZmxlZXQtc2VydmVyL3Rva2VuMTo3TFdaQED

In my compose file have replaced the password with token and tried. But it fails with same error.

Please guide me to solve this issue. Thanks.
