I think you are referring to this page of the docs? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.5/advanced-options.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.5/advanced-options.html)

Yes, this is the same doc as the one in the link i posted. But I would like to write a script that changes some of these settings on my ubuntu machine, so I wanted to know where the file that lists these configurations can be found, an /etc/kibana/.conf or .yml or something of the sort that lists these options and can be changed from outside the UI.  
Thanks!

They are stored in the `.kibana` index.
