Hey, We(our company) is using Kibana 7.10, in our kibana.yml file these lines are mentioned:

```auto
opendistro_security.cookie.ttl: 60000
opendistro_security.session.ttl: 60000 //for testing obviously.

```

So when the said time passes kibana should autologout right? it does not until I click a button or change something that updates its state.

I also tried:

```auto
xpack.security.session.idleTimeout: "10s"
xpack.security.session.lifespan: "10s"

```

No luck ☹

Can please someone help?

That seems to be an Open Search setting. I'm afraid you need to seek assistance on Open Search community forums instead since you are not running an Elastic product.

Yeah. And otherwise, please upgrade to at least 7.17 or better 8.13.2 which is the latest available version 😉
