Hello everyone,

I currently having issues with Kibana where the xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey been changed to a new one. I forgot to backup the old key and now using the new key. After restarting the kibana, some of the kibana plugins degraded or not functional and kibana turns Yellow state.

I looked around for a solution and read this guide by Elastic [Secure saved objects | Kibana Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security-secure-saved-objects.html)

At the end of guide, its written " At some point, you might want to dispose of old encryption keys completely. Make sure there are no saved objects that Kibana encrypted with these encryption keys. You can use the [rotate encryption key API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-rotate-encryption-key.html) to determine which existing saved objects require decryption-only keys and re-encrypt them with the primary key"

Then how can I find which saved objects that tied to old encryptionkey?

Appreciate your assistance guys! Elastic rawks!
