Holla !

- I am using 7.10.0 version of kibana and I need to access kibana.yml's parameters in custom Plugin (consisting backend and frontend).

plugin.ts

```auto
constructor(initializerContext: PluginInitializerContext) {
    this.logger = initializerContext.logger.get();
    this.environmentConfig = initializerContext.env;
  }

  public setup(core: CoreSetup<AividInsightsPluginStartDeps>, deps: AividInsightsPluginSetupDeps) {
    this.logger.debug('aividInsights: Setup');
    const router = core.http.createRouter();

    core.getStartServices().then(([_, depsStart]) => {
      // console.log(_, depsStart, this.environmentConfig);

      const serverConfigData = {
        esClient: _.elasticsearch.client,
        //@ts-ignore
        esHosts: _.elasticsearch.client.config.hosts,
        //@ts-ignore
        additionBasePath: _.http.basePath.get(),
        ..._.http.getServerInfo(),
        environmentConfig: this.environmentConfig,
        IS_SERVER_LIVE: this.environmentConfig.mode.prod,
        NODE_JS_BASE_URL: this.environmentConfig.mode.prod
          ? PROD_NODE_JS_BASE_URL
          : OVERWRITE_DEV_JS_BASE_URL ||
            //@ts-ignore
            `${_.elasticsearch.client.config.hosts?.[0]
              ?.slice(0, -6)
              .replace('http:', 'https:')}:32000`,
      };
      registerRoutes(router, depsStart.data, this.logger, serverConfigData);
    });

    return {};
  }

```

I tried using the given parameters of plugins (intializerContext, core, deps) but I still have not found yml variables.  
Is there any variable available that consists the parameters of yml.  
I want to access **server.ssl.enabled , server.ssl.certificate , server.ssl.key , server.name**

Hi @Hackwithharshil and welcome to the community!

Kibana configuration is accessible through the `initializerContext.config` API.  
You should also be able to access the configuration from the plugin that registers the settings if you add that plugin as a dependency to yours.

It's challenging to provide the exact code to suit your needs but a great place to start is to look at the examples given for how to use [config in the Kibana platform](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/migrating-legacy-plugins-examples.html#config-migration).

You'll also find other examples in Kibana's code in the x-pack plugins folder.

I hope that helps!
