You would need to [enable audit logging](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/xpack-security-audit-logging.html).

thanks Aaron for your answer.  
In my kibana.yml, i put :  
xpack.security.audit.enabled: true  
logging.verbose: true  
and of course i verified elastisearch.yml that xpack.security.enabled: true

But after restart Kibana, i have no new lines in logging.dest file ! 🙁  
What did I forget?

I would look in your kibana logs to see if you are getting any warnings or errors. I am not sure if that version shipped with it being free also. Believe this is now a [paid feature](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).
