This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

From the Elastic Cloud Enterprise console you can customize settings for Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other Elastic Stack components by applying user settings to your deployments. These settings are internally mapped to the appropriate YAML configuration files, such as elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml, and they affect all users of that cluster.

To customize the settings of a deployment's Elastic Stack components:

  1. Open your deployment page in the ECE Cloud UI.
  2. In the left navigation menu, select Edit.
  3. Look for the Manage user settings and extensions and Edit user settings links for each deployment, and select the one corresponding to the component you want to update, such as Elasticsearch or Kibana.
  4. Apply the necessary settings in the Users Settings tab of the editor and select Back when finished.
  5. Select Save to apply the changes to the deployment. Saving your changes initiates a configuration plan change that restarts the affected components for you.

The following sections provide extra details and examples for different components:

If you manage deployments programmatically in Elastic Cloud Enterprise, you can update user settings through the generic Update Deployment API by submitting an updated deployment payload.
