After cross-cluster settings are applied, is it possible to view/edit templates of indices on remote cluster and view/edit cluster level settings of remote cluster in Kibana ?

I'm not sure you can do it in the index management UI, but with the Dev Tools console you should be able to query them

I was unable to do it from dev console.
```
GET _cluster/settings
{
"persistent" : {
"cluster" : {
"remote" : {
"cluster_one" : {
"skip_unavailable" : "true",
"seeds" : [
"elkhost1:9300",
"elkhost2:9300"
]
}
}
}
}
```
And when I do the following query
`GET cluster_one:log-2019.11.09/_mapping`
it fails with the following error
```
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "index_not_found_exception",
"reason" : "no such index",
"index_uuid" : "_na_",
"resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
"resource.id" : "cluster_one:log-2019.11.09",
"index" : "cluster_one:log-2019.11.09"
}
],
"type" : "index_not_found_exception",
"reason" : "no such index",
"index_uuid" : "_na_",
"resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
"resource.id" : "cluster_one:log-2019.11.09",
"index" : "cluster_one:log-2019.11.09"
},
"status" : 404
}
```
But I am able to search for the same index.
@Marius_Dragomir: can you please tell me if I am missing something.
Thank you

I've investigated this more and it looks like the only way to manage remote indices (from cross cluster search) is to point your kibana to that remote cluster.

@Marius_Dragomir Do you think this can be added as a feature request?

sure. Can you add it in here? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
it would have more weight since you can explain the use case better than me.
I can help you by setting the right labels after you add it.
