HI there, is it possible to setup one elastic stack and use it for more than one client. (each client log on to one Kibana but can only see their logs)

Kibana doesn't have a "multi-tenant" mode, but you can use multiple instances of Kibana and a single instance of the rest of the stack. Each of these Kibana instances will need to have their own `kibana.index` setting, which means that when you log into "instance 1" you will only see index patterns/dashboard/etc. that were created in that instance.

You can also achieve multi tenancy using X-Pack Security.
