Hi all ,

I know how to use .key and .rt files for enable TLS in KIbana with ES.

Can you explain how use .p12 file in kibana for TLS.

My current Kibana working conf mentioning below.

xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
server.ssl.certificate: /etc/kibana/config/abcd.crt  
server.ssl.key: /etc/kibana/config/abcd.key  
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: ["/etc/kibana/config/ca.crt"]

ES:  
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true  
xpack.ssl.key: /etc/elasticsearch/config/xyz.key  
xpack.ssl.certificate: /etc/elasticsearch/config/xyz.crt  
xpack.ssl.certificate\_authorities: /etc/elasticsearch/config/ca.crt  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true  
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification\_mode: certificate

This conf working well

Is there any documentation is available for using .p12 in kibana?

Unfortunately you can't use a PKCS#12 store for Kibana at this point.
