I'm developing custom Kibana plugin and I want to get the current logged in user information from my plugin server. It would be great if any Kibana API endpoint is available to get such details.

The default index pattern is not configured per user, but per space. You can get it from the data plugin index patterns service:

```auto
const defaultIndexPattern = await data.indexPatterns.getDefault();

```
