This is an issue for multiple pieces of security usage data that we need to augment.
Audit logging
In #82578, we originally planned to remove the legacy audit logger in 8.0. However, preliminary analysis of usage data revealed a not-insignificant number of clusters that support audit logging and have it enabled. That, plus the low impact it takes for us to leave legacy audit logging in place, convinced us to push this breaking change out to a future release.
When we do eventually want to remove legacy audit logging, we'll need to understand how many people are still relying on it. Our usage data currently only tells us whether audit logging is enabled or not. We need to update it to also tell us what kind of audit logging is configured.
Elasticsearch configuration
In #48247, we deprecated using
elasticsearch.username: elastic
in your kibana.yml file, and in #63186 we deprecated thekibana
user entirely. Users should setelasticsearch.username: kibana_system
instead.However, it is a low impact for us to continue supporting this for the time being, so we have decided to leave it in place. We do want to collect additional usage data to determine if users are relying on the
