Hi,

I know the setting setup.kibana.space.id in beats configuration, but when I today copied a filebeat.reference.yml I noticed, that this setting is not in there (version 7.4.1). I checked with the reference files of other beats and it is not there as well. I've also checked the "Configure the Kibana endpoint" documentation, nothing about this setting there as well.  
Is that setting just missing in the reference files and documentation, or is that setting going to disappear ?

Best regards,  
Norbert

Hi. I can't answer your question, but I will follow up and fix the docs, if necessary. It looks like the field was added in this PR:

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/8045>

But the doc changes in the PR are minimal and incomplete. There's another PR open that updates the reference.yml:

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/13934>

I'll make sure this gets reviewed and, if appropriate, merged.

I've created an issue to track the work here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/14251](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/14251)

Thanks for letting us know about the problem!
