We would like to monitor the remote connections to our kibana instance. Does kibana keep an http access-like log somewhere? Is that data in the monitoring index for kibana ( I don't really see it there). ---

You can see connections if you set `logging.verbose: true` in your kibana.yml file, but Kibana doesn't write those connections to a separate file. Everything is written to the same log file at the moment. ---
