Hello,  
I am wondering if it is possible to track a users activity to see who they are communicating with using Kibana?

Check out [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/auditing.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/auditing.html)

Also perhaps you are interested in this feature request: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18650](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18650)

Not sure that will give you the level of detail you want though. I'm not sure exactly what info you want to capture with "see who they are communicating with" -- we don't have communication between users in Kibana, that I am aware of.

Hello,  
So, it is not possible to track users activity with the free version of ELK?  
Also, can I track user activity time? or is that also a paid feature?  
Thanks
