I have an elastic cluster with three nodes: n1, n2 and n3. And I have a new kibana instance on a separate linux server. On n1, I ran this command /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-service-token elastic/kibana kibana_token. On my kibana server, I pasted the token into /etc/kibana/kibana.y…

Should I be copying the `/etc/elasticsearch/service_tokens` to several elastic nodes?

Someone from https://opster.com replied to me on slack gave me this solution which worked for me:

You can avoid that by instead using the REST interface to manage your service account tokens.
