Hi ,

If we are using 2 kibana instance. Does required any common mount point to save the dashboards or kibana index is capable of managing it?

Thanks

Hi Sharath,

If both of your Kibana instances are pointing to the same Elasticsearch instance, then people should be able to access the same dashboards from either instance. If you have X-Pack installed, you'll just need to make sure your reporting and encryption keys are the same. Hope this helps!

Thanks,  
CJ

We have multiple node instance and kibana is installed on different  
datanodes.

Oh I see. Sorry, no, Kibana 5 doesn't support the concept of mount points.
