Hello,
Per [Configuring Kibana | Kibana User Guide [5.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html), I set `kibana.index` to be `.kibana-test` (instead of default `.kibana`), however after I restart _kibana_, it looks like it's still using default index (`.kibana`) instead(
Please advise.

I found older document: [Configuring Kibana on Docker | Kibana User Guide [5.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.0/_configuring_kibana_on_docker.html), apparently instead of `.kibana.index`, I had to set `KIBANA_INDEX` and now it's working as planned)
Thank you me)
