Hi guys,

Is it possible to set the default time range through the kibana API?

In other words, is it possible to automatically edit the kibana advanced settings through the kibana API?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Cheers,  
Balaji

Hi @astrobalaji,

yes, this is possible. You can use the [saved object API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api.html) to do this. The object type is `config`.
