The kibana version I am using is 6.2.2. Is it possible to customize the kibana UI as below?
1. Modify the default home page or replace it with a customized page;
2. Remove the Timelion plugin;
3. Remove/hide some items in [Management]--\>[Advanced Settings].
Thanks!

Hi,
for 1 and 3 - you have to write your own ui plugin to do it.
For 2: you can try to add timelion.enabled: false in kibana.yml and try to restart the server.
Thanks,
Bhavya

It's highly appreciated if you can provide some guides on how to do these. I know how to implement kibana plugins, I just don't know how to do these specific tasks for now.
