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, youll ensure consistent operations across restarts.

Usage [_usage]

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 youre 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.
