Hi,
I want to change the kibana startup page to my plugin UI,It's possible?
when visit [http://localhost:5601/](http://localhost:5601/)
the kibana may redirect to [http://localhost:5601/utz/app/kibana#/home?\_g=()](http://localhost:5601/utz/app/kibana#/home?_g=())
now i want to redirect to [http://localhost:5601/utz/app/my\_plugin\_name](http://localhost:5601/utz/app/my_plugin_name) ,
this address is my custom plugin create by "node scripts/generate\_plugin my\_plugin\_name",
I event to try to use the kibana.defaultAppId in the kinbana.yml,
but find that this only for the app address start with "[http://localhost:5601/utz/app/kibana](http://localhost:5601/utz/app/kibana)"
so i don't know how to config this .

Hi,
Do you have access to the plugin source? Then maybe this is worth looking at: [How to redirect my a request on (localhost:5601) to my custom developed plugin?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-redirect-my-a-request-on-localhost-5601-to-my-custom-developed-plugin/113763)
Best regards

There is an advanced setting `defaultRoute` you can use for this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html)
