Hi folks,

Is there possible to pass kibana.yml options directly in command line like for elasticsearch?

Thanks in advance! 😃

Hi @apetrovYa,

that is indeed possible. Just pass the setting with a `--` prefix as in `--kibana.index=.mykibanaindex`. See [the Kibana documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) for a list of settings.
