kibana-encryption-keysedit
The kibana-encryption-keys command helps you generate encryption keys that Kibana uses
to protect sensitive information.
Kibana uses encryption keys in several areas, ranging from encrypting data in Kibana associated indices to storing session information. By defining these encryption keys in your configuration, you’ll ensure consistent operations across restarts.
