Support for the listed Linux distributions requires a native Linux install, e.g., Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is unsupported.

Kibana PNG/PDF Reporting uses a custom binary of headless Chromium, and support comes with special caveats:

• The functionality requires special OS dependencies which may not be available for all distributions and configurations of Linux.
• It is subject to system resource configurations such as the limited number of file descriptors, allowed processes, and types of processes.
• Linux versions that are in end-of-life phase are not supported.
• Linux systems with SELinux or fapolicyd are not supported.
