How can I hide the password in kibana.yml

Hey there,

You might take a look through the step by step guide in securing kibana: Configure security in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic

If you're meaning the elasticsearch.password that's in kibana.yml that Kibana uses to talk to Elasticsearch, I believe you should be able to add that field in your kibana keystore and not have to put it in the yml. Here's some info: Secure settings | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic

thankyou @poff
yes i do

but how i can add this in kibana.yml

[stephenb (Stephen Brown)]

From the documents that he referenced

Once added to the keystore, these setting will be automatically applied to this instance of Kibana when started. For example if you do

bin/kibana-keystore add elasticsearch.username

...

So you don't need to add them to the kibana.yml

not like logstash and filebeat?

[stephenb (Stephen Brown)]

Yes we should be more consistent.....
