When logging onto Kibana for the first time, I get a message "Your data is not secure. Don't lose one bit. Secure your data for free with Elastic."

See [PR 80344](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/80344) and [issue 80161](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/80344).

I'm maintaining a project that uses elasticsearch and uses third party tools to handle the security features (authentication, encryption, etc.) instead of the elasticsearch security plugin. I don't want this message to display to my users. How can I, either through the Kibana API or through manually writing a document to the .kibana index or the like, prevent this message from ever showing up?

Hi!  
I can't see it's documented, but according to PR [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/78545](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/78545), you can disable it via the `kibana.yml` config file:

```auto
security.showInsecureClusterWarning: false

```

Thank you so much, I will give that try.

It looks like that did the trick. Thanks again.
