When I lunch Kibana by going to localhost:5601/app/kibana#/home?\_g=() I always come to the page "Add Data to Kibana".
How can i set the home page to a Dashboard instead?

Use the `kibana.defaultAppId` property in `kibana.yml`. For example...
```auto
kibana.defaultAppId: "dashboard/eaa84cd0-0b69-11e8-b8c9-63672ef3f062"
```
