kibana-audit

kibana-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from elastic/cursor-plugins. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,445 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kibana-audit, Apache-2.0.

A skill for enabling and configuring Kibana audit logging. Kibana is the web interface for Elasticsearch, and audit logs record security-related actions such as logins, saved-object changes, and space operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure audit output, filter noisy events, investigate saved-object access or deletion, track sessions, and monitor Kibana spaces.
Why use it?
It helps reveal who accessed or changed Kibana resources and supports investigation of security and activity events.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kibana-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Kibana Audit Logging

Enable and configure audit logging for Kibana via kibana.yml. Kibana audit logs cover application-layer security events that Elasticsearch does not see: saved object CRUD (dashboards, visualizations, index patterns, rules, cases), login/logout, session expiry, space operations, and Kibana-level RBAC enforcement.

For Elasticsearch audit logging (authentication failures, access grants/denials, security config changes), see elasticsearch-audit. For authentication and API key management, see elasticsearch-authn. For roles and user management, see elasticsearch-authz.

For detailed event types, schema, and correlation queries, see references/api-reference.md.

Deployment note: Kibana audit configuration differs across deployment types. See Deployment Compatibility for details.

Jobs to Be Done

  • Enable or disable Kibana audit logging
  • Configure audit log output (rolling file, console)
  • Filter out noisy events (e.g. saved_object_find)
  • Investigate saved object access or deletion events
  • Track Kibana login/logout and session activity
  • Monitor space creation, modification, and deletion
  • Correlate Kibana audit events with Elasticsearch audit logs via trace.id
  • Ship Kibana audit logs to Elasticsearch for unified querying

Prerequisites

Item Description
Kibana access Filesystem access to kibana.yml (self-managed) or Cloud console access (ECH)
License Audit logging requires a gold, platinum, enterprise, or trial license
Elasticsearch URL Cluster endpoint for correlation queries against .security-audit-*

Prompt the user for any missing values.

Enable Kibana Audit Logging

Kibana audit is configured statically in kibana.yml (not via API). A Kibana restart is required after changes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
