Is there a way to configure default index pattern in configuration file so I wouldn't have to set it manually after each redeploy?Also  
to configure and persist field level format ?

Hello,

You could set the default index pattern programatically as outlined in [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-create-a-default-index-pattern-via-kibana-api/238905).

Regards,  
Aaron
