More information for these settings can be found in the kibana documentation.

These settings are configured in the kibana.yml. If they are modified, the kibana process will need to be restarted.

session idle timeout

Session timeout after this amount of time of inactivity. The timeout value is formatted as COUNT[ms|s|m|h|d|w|M|Y]

xpack.security.session.idleTimeout: "30m"

session lifespan

This is an absolute timeout for the session.

xpack:
  security:
    session:
      lifespan: "7d"
