[[secure-settings]]
|
|
=== Secure settings
|
|
|
|
Some settings are sensitive, and relying on filesystem permissions to protect
|
|
their values is not sufficient. For this use case, Kibana provides a
|
|
keystore, and the `kibana-keystore` tool to manage the settings in the keystore.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: All commands here should be run as the user which will run Kibana.

[[creating-keystore]]
|
|
=== Create the keystore
|
|
|
|
To create the `kibana.keystore`, use the `create` command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/kibana-keystore create
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The file `kibana.keystore` will be created in the directory defined by the
|
|
`path.data` configuration setting.
|
|
|

|
|
[[list-settings]]
|
|
=== List settings in the keystore
|
|
|
|
A list of the settings in the keystore is available with the `list` command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/kibana-keystore list
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
[[add-string-to-keystore]]
|
|
=== Add string settings
|
|
|
|
Sensitive string settings, like authentication credentials for Elasticsearch
|
|
can be added using the `add` command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/kibana-keystore add the.setting.name.to.set
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once added to the keystore, these setting will be automatically applied
|
|
to this instance of Kibana when started. For example if you do
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/kibana-keystore add elasticsearch.username
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
you will be prompted to provide the value for elasticsearch.username.
|
|
(Your input will show as asterisks.)
|
|
|
|
The tool will prompt for the value of the setting. To pass the value
|
|
through stdin, use the `--stdin` flag:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
cat /file/containing/setting/value | bin/kibana-keystore add the.setting.name.to.set --stdin
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
[[remove-settings]]
|
|
=== Remove settings
|
|
|
|
To remove a setting from the keystore, use the `remove` command:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/kibana-keystore remove the.setting.name.to.remove
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
