- Assume that there is a Docker Compose file `es01-docker.yaml` as follows,

```yaml
name: test
services:
  es01:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.15.0
    environment:
      - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=es01Test
      - "discovery.type=single-node"
      - "xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false"
    networks:
      - elastic-net
    ports:
      - "9200:9200"
networks:
  elastic-net:

```

- Assume that there is a Docker Compose file `kibana-docker.yaml` as follows,

```yaml
name: test
services:
  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.15.0
    environment:
      - ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://es01:9200
      - ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=http://es01:9200
      - ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME=kibana_system
      - ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD=kibanaTest
      - XPACK_SECURITY_ENABLED=false
    ports:
      - "5601:5601"
    networks:
      - test_elastic-net
networks:
  test_elastic-net:
    external: true

```

- Start Elasticsearch and Kibana using the following bash command:

```shell
docker compose --file ./es01-docker.yaml up -d
curl -u elastic:es01Test \
  -X POST \
  http://127.0.0.1:9200/_security/user/kibana_system/_password \
  -d '{"password":"'"kibanaTest"'"}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
docker compose --file ./kibana-docker.yml up -d

```

- Then visit `http://localhost:5601` and enter the account `elastic` and password `es01Test`. Enter the `Case` interface of `Security`.

- This will lead to a long wait. Maybe 3 seconds.

- After a while, a large number of Error Logs will load the screen, and new Error Logs will be continuously loaded. Kibana will only remind you to set `XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY`.

- If I set the `XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY` environment variable for Kibana's Docker Container, none of this happens. If the corresponding environment variables are set, this interface loads very quickly.
- Why is Kibana's Docker Image slow to access the `Security`'s `Case` UI when the `XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY` environment variable is not set?
- If this webpage requires the existence of the environment variable `XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY` to be used, it is unreasonable from my point of view. It would be more reasonable not to display the entry of this webpage in Kibana when the environment variable `XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY` does not exist.
