**Kibana 7.14.0 latest update ends in session timeout every 5 minutes and its really annoying to work with.**

Didnot face this issue with previous versions. Very hard when we are monitoring something on large scale.

Hello,

Can you please check if you have set _xpack.security.session.idleTimeout:_ in your kibana.yml?

How are you running your stack? on cloud or on prem?

Hi,

Have not set _idleTimeout_ configuration in kibana.yml. We are running in elastic cloud.

Regards,  
Varun

I cannot reproduce it in my cloud production at all. I have asked our security team to take a look at it. Is there anything special at all in your config?

Thanks

Varun,

Can you please open a elastic support ticket? It will be easier for us to get your logs and other details.

Thanks

We only have kibana.autocompleteTimeout in our kibana config and not idleTimeout. Also I will raise a support ticket from my end.

Thanks,

Great thanks. What is the value you have set for autoComplete? And the parameter?

The value that I found in the kibana.yaml is set as kibana.autocompleteTimeout: 99999

Thanks
