Known issue

edit
  • When you use the default dateFormat:tz: browser setting, the timestamps appear in UTC instead of the local time of the user browser. To use the local time of the user browser, set dateFormat:tz: to the timezone of the user. #57457
  • The server.customResponseHeaders option prevents Kibana from starting if headers are set using a type other than string. To fix this, convert your boolean and number headers to strings. For example, use my-header: "true" instead of my-header: true. #66146
