Sharing settings in Kibana

Configure sharing settings in your kibana.yml configuration file. These settings allow you to customize the behavior of URL sharing in Kibana.

URL expiration settings

URL expiration settings control the behavior of the unused URLs cleanup background task, which runs using the Task Manager plugin. This task allows you to periodically clean up saved objects of type url that have not been accessed in the specified period of time, controlled by the share.url_expiration.duration configuration option. Each saved object is a representation of a URL generated through the sharing functionality. Those settings are disabled by default. You must manually configure them in order to use this feature.
