I just looked at some of the code, and there is no configuration that we provide to change this.

Can you change your kibana script?
I am already developing kibana contrubuting project.

I've been following your posts, and I see that you have been making changes to the Kibana source code. This question about changing the base URL of Kibana requires more code changes.
If you would like to contribute the code changes back to other Kibana users, feel free to contribute them by following the instructions above.

"This question about changing the base URL of Kibana requires more code changes."
If we share lines of code to change, do we change them?
Did you change the base URL part before?

No, like I said earlier this is not something that Kibana currently does. You will need to make a change to the Kibana source code.

Please don't create multiple topics on the same question, it makes it much harder to help you 🙂

> This app name is the technical id of the core Kibana app - timelion e.g. has a separate one. It is baked in very deeply into the code, so you would have to create a fork of Kibana, change all occurences and build Kibana yourself to make it work. The most important ones are [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core\_plugins/kibana/index.js#L26](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core_plugins/kibana/index.js#L26) and [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core\_plugins/kibana/index.js#L46](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core_plugins/kibana/index.js#L46), but it might be hardcoded in other places too.
