Hi

Is there any information about what this offers compared with the existing plugin? I’m not clear whether it simply replaces the existing one, in anticipation of support for the old API being dropped, or if it has advantages such as loading more quickly, which seems to be the case with other plugins using the new architecture. I’ve considered using it, but I’d also prefer to use the latest version of ES and Kibana, and it’s only available for 7.9.0

Thanks

Max

Hi. It is a beta version of the SearchGuard Kibana plugin which uses the Kibana new platform. More information about it can be found here [Search Guard Documentation 404 | Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/kibana-new-platform-plugin-beta#kibana-new-platform-plugin-beta)

> advantages such as loading more quickly

All plugins under the new platform are loaded quicker. Because Kibana imposes 30 seconds limit for a plugin to setup and start.
