Two different elasticsearch instances use the elastic account to log in to the kibana page of each instance in the same browser. After the second login succeeds, the previous one will be automatically logged out. Is this behavior in line with expectations? ---

Hi @rangerforce007 , welcome to our community. Yes, this behavior is expected. When logging into two different Elasticsearch instances using the same account in the same browser, the session from the first instance is overwritten by the second, causing the first to log out. This happens because browsers share session cookies. To avoid this, you can use different browsers or incognito windows, or use different user accounts for each instance. ---
