Configure Kibana to enable the Universal Profiling plugin with the following configuration:

xpack.profiling.enabled: true

Refer to the steps for your platform to deploy update the configuration.

Install the 8.12.0 stackpack or higher. Refer to ECE manage elastic stack for more information.

In ECE, you don’t need to perform any additional steps to enable the Universal Profiling plugin in Kibana.

Self-managed Elastic stack
edit
  1. Edit the Kibana YAML configuration file, usually named kibana.yml by adding previous configuration line.
  2. Restart Kibana to reload the configuration.
Kubernetes
edit

If you’re using ECK, add the previous configuration line to the kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1 CRD, placing it under the spec.config key. Refer to the ECK documentation for more on configuring Kibana.

If you’re not using ECK, edit the secret or configMap holding the kibana.yml configuration file. Add the previously mentioned config line, and then perform a rolling restart of the Kibana deployment to reload the configuration.
