    We have detected an issue with the Kibana authentication flow. Authenticating to Kibana using the "Log in with Elastic Cloud" button results in an authentication failure. A workaround is to access Kibana using the link inside the Elastic Cloud console. We are currently working on a resolution. We will post an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if there is a change in status.
