Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown. The preview can be built after #212557 is merged. @florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s), and take this out of draft when you're ready. Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from some files was moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content). **What has moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?** Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be found under the following directories in the new docs: - explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting, Alerting, dev tools... - deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote clusters...) - troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages **What is staying in the Kibana repo?** - Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated): Settings, syntax references - Release notes - Developer guide --------- Co-authored-by: Florent Le Borgne <florent.leborgne@elastic.co>

# kibana-encryption-keys [kibana-encryption-keys]
|
||
|
||
The `kibana-encryption-keys` command helps you generate encryption keys that {{kib}} uses to protect sensitive information.
|
||
|
||
{{kib}} uses encryption keys in several areas, ranging from encrypting data in {{kib}} associated indices to storing session information. By defining these encryption keys in your configuration, you’ll ensure consistent operations across restarts.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Usage [_usage]
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
bin/kibana-encryption-keys [command] [options]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Commands [encryption-key-parameters]
|
||
|
||
`generate`
|
||
: Generate encryption keys.
|
||
|
||
Unless interactive mode (`-i`) is used, the generated encryption keys will be output to your console only. From here, you should manually copy the keys into either `kibana.yml` or where else you’re configurating {{kib}}.
|
||
|
||
`-i, --interactive`
|
||
: Prompts you for which encryption keys to set and optionally where to save a sample configuration file.
|
||
|
||
`-q, --quiet`
|
||
: Outputs the config options/encryption keys only (without helper information).
|
||
|
||
`-f, --force`
|
||
: Generates new keys for all settings. By default, only un-configured encryption keys will be generated.
|
||
|
||
`-h, --help`
|
||
: Shows help information.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Examples [_examples]
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
bin/kibana-encryption-keys generate
|
||
```
