Hi,

I want to change the kibana code files on our server so the cardinality aggr request will use this by default:  
{"precision\_threshold":100}  
(instead of adding this to the custom json input every time...)

In older Kibana versions I did this, but can't find how to make this work with the newer versions.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nir
