Good Morning All,

I have an ES cluster running and an instance of Kibana (Lets call this instance A) pointed at that. And because of some involved weird "business reasons" I wanted to know if I could have a separate Kibana instance (Let's call this instance B) that is separate in every way from the other. As in could A & B coexist and not stomp on each other? with different configurations and, permissions etc? I am thinking no because they use ES for storage but, I want to be certain.

Thank you!

Yes, this can work. [Use Kibana in a production environment | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html) would be worth a view, as it approaches similar concepts.
