Hello team, whenever I modify my JS files the dev mode is refreshing my JS files but whenever I modify the HTML files I need to remove optimize/bundles and start again. Is there a missing option from my command?

```auto
yarn start --oss --no-base-path --server.host="0.0.0.0" --plugin-path /root/kibana/foo/wazuh

```

Regards,  
Jesús

Dev mode does not appear to watch the html files from what I can tell. I would suggest opening an enhancement request in the Kibana Github repo.

Ok I did it, just execute this before start development:

`echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p`

This way we can have many files opened at the same time and it worked for me.

Awesome good find, so it was trying to watch the files but ran out of watchers?

Yep, I think that's exactly what was happening, hope it helps!
