Is there a way to log role definition changes when using the Kibana UI? Want to see what API calls Kibana is sending to Elasticsearch when I define roles.

Hey Jamaal, you should be able to set `logging.verbose: true` and `elasticsearch.logQueries: true` in your config, which will log the queries in a copy/pasteable format.

Thanks,

Thank you I will give this a try. Do these entries go in elasticsearch.yml or the kibana.yml ?

@cjcenizal Those settings didn't seem to give me what I needed. Might try to frame my question in a different forum post. Thanks for your help. 😀
