Hi,

Is it possible to set the order in which elasticsearch is loading the indizes on start?

I want to set following order:

- all indizes of today (daily rotated indices) (my own and these of xpack monitoring)
- . kibana index
- all older indices.

Is that possible? Seems if kibana comes at the very last.

Why do I wanna do this?  
After restarting of ES I would like to enable logstash as early as possible to reduce amount of queued messages in filebeat / logs.  
Then I want to enable kibana as early as possible to reduce unavailability.

We only have a single instance.

Thanks, Andreas
