As the title say, is it possible to create users in kibana who has permission to view specific server logs? Like if I have three server x, y, z and I want to create a user "mike" who can only view logs from server y when he log in. He wont be able to access other server logs.

I know in Space you can separate these but then I have to configure likewise in logstash too and thats a hassle to me. So let me know if there is any easy way to do it.

Thanks in advance.

You can redirect servers logs to differents indices, like

```
logstash-logs-server-1-YYYY-MM-dd
logstash-logs-server-2-YYYY-MM-dd
logstash-logs-server-3-YYYY-MM-dd

```

and then you can create specifique role for each index pattern ...

Hope this can help

@ylasri Yes, I can do that. But that will create hundreds of indices which is difficult to manage. 😓

You can do it using document level security, but that is a feature that requires a commercial license.

Ok, that will not be possible for me then as I am using basic license.
