Setting "logging.dest" is deprecated

[GuillaumeBA]

Hi
I'm trying to upgrade my ELK from 7.16.2 to 8.x and i'm facing this last critical error :

I have already replaced the "logging.dest:" in kibana.yml by the parameters I have founded in the upgrade assistant for ELK 8.0.

logging:
appenders:
file:
type: file
fileName: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log
layout:
type: pattern
root:
appenders: [default, file]

Also in the file kibana.service I remouved the ExecStart line.

Before:
ExecStart=/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana --logging.dest="/var/log/kibana/kibana.log" --pid.file="/run/kibana/kibana.pid" --deprecation.skip_deprecated_settings[0]="logging.dest"

After:
ExecStart=/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana --pid.file="/run/kibana/kibana.pid" --deprecation.skip_deprecated_settings[0]="logging.dest"

Nothing seems to work.

Can someone help me ?

Hi @GuillaumeBA,

Welcome to the community! Can you explain what you mean by it doesn't work and if there are any errors appearing for this configuration?

@GuillaumeBA

After:
ExecStart=/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana --pid.file="/run/kibana/kibana.pid" --deprecation.skip_deprecated_settings[0]="logging.dest"

I'm not sure this is the issue, but if you have resolved the logging.dest deprecation do you need the skip setting anymore?
