Hi experts, We are trying to display a link inside a Kibana document; when a Kibana user click on that link, we want a new tab to display a text file. Right now, we have simply put the text files inside the bundles folder (/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/text\_files/) and make that field a url that point to this location. The problem is that anyone not login inside Kibana can now access and visualise those text files (e.g [http://192.168.0.12:5601/bundles/text\_files/21b33ee0-bb19-11ea-83b6-0242ac170019.txt](http://192.168.0.12:5601/bundles/text_files/21b33ee0-bb19-11ea-83b6-0242ac170019.txt)). We were wondering if there is a way to serve and protect static content with the Kibana authentication mechanism. Thank you. ---
