How can I retreive the username using sentry in kibana 6.8.1 and display it on the home page.

Hi @amanciao,

What do you mean by `retreive the username using sentry` exactly? In any case, if you want to display username in some other place than its default location, then you'd need to write a custom Kibana plugin to do that.

Best,  
Oleg
