Hi,

My /var/log/message is full of kibana's logs. It's impossible to find the line I want. Is it possible to prevent kibana from logging here ?

Thanks.

Hello,

There are few options to change where logs are stored and what is logged (i.e.- just errors, nothing, etc.). Check out the logging configurations here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html

Thanks,
Aaron
