Hi,

1. I am looking for a way to connect single Kibana to different kinds of elastic single nodes dynamically (without restarting the Kibana).

2. When enabling Stack Monitoring, is there an option to define where to create the internal indices? I want the those indices will be created on specific cluster.

Thanks...

Sorry, this is not possible

I recommend getting familiar with the documentation here:
