Hi,

I wanna customize my kibana dashboard navigation(Change text and add link). But I have no idea how to do this. Change src/core\_plugin/kibana? or add hack plugin?

Hi @harutsuki,

The configuration for dashboard navigation is stored here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/kibana/public/dashboard/top\_nav/get\_top\_nav\_config.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/kibana/public/dashboard/top_nav/get_top_nav_config.js)

They are not currently customizable, so you would have to fork Kibana to make these changes
