I would like to create field to get user details (Username) on kibana.
I'm having slowlogs configured on kibana however i would need to know which user is doing what query.
I have seen x-pack already and also auditbeat other than this do we know any other method to find user details on kibana?
Thanks in advance

Hi Rehan. X-pack is the only officially supported mechanism. If you want to use 3rd party security plugins, you can, but we can't answer questions about those plugins here, as we don't really know about them.
Best,
Chris
