我已经在Windows10（版本10.0.17763内部版本17763）中测试了它和Kibana7.9.2，日志记录工作正常。
复制步骤：
从elastic.co网站下载kibana.zip包
将压缩包解压到您选择的文件夹中
打开 config\kibana.yml 用你最喜欢的编辑器归档
取消对以下行的注解，并为日志文件设置目标目录和文件名。

# Logs queries sent to Elasticsearch. Requires logging.verbose set to true.

elasticsearch.logQueries: true

# Enables you to specify a file where Kibana stores log output.

logging.dest: D:\kibana-7.9.2-windows-x86_64\logs\kibana.log

# Set the value of this setting to true to log all events, including system usage information

# and all requests.

logging.verbose: true

启动 powershell 或者 cmd 导航到kibana目录
跑 PS D:\kibana-7.9.2-windows-x86_64> .\bin\kibana.bat 导航到日志文件目录并用您喜爱的编辑器打开日志文件。

ps：我已经用verbose进行了测试，但是你可以选择其他日志级别（请阅读 kibana.yml 文件）
