Hello. I would like to create a kibana deployment with persistent storage using the new kubernetes operator. Is there any way to do this? I have tried adding a volumeClaimTemplates, but it's disregarded.  
Thank you.

I don't think it makes much sense to create a Kibana deployment with persistent storage as Kibana is a stateless application.

Are you sure that's what you want to do? And if so, could you maybe explain why?

I would like to persist kibana users, visualisations, dashboards and discover filters. Or are they stored in elastic and not on disk?

Everything is stored in elasticsearch.

Ok, thank you. Then I won't be needing kibana volumes
