Secure settings
editSecure settings
editSimilar to Elasticsearch, you can use Kubernetes secrets to manage secure settings for Kibana.
For example, you can define a custom encryption key for Kibana as follows:
-
Create a secret containing the desired setting:
kubectl create secret generic kibana-secret-settings \ --from-literal=xpack.security.encryptionKey=94d2263b1ead716ae228277049f19975aff864fb4fcfe419c95123c1e90938cd
-
Add a reference to the secret in the
secureSettings
section:apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1 kind: Kibana metadata: name: kibana-sample spec: version: 8.16.0 count: 3 elasticsearchRef: name: "elasticsearch-sample" secureSettings: - secretName: kibana-secret-settings
