When opening kibana URL in browser so in a inspect page header section kbn-name show the hostname of the server in response header. So is there anyway to remove kbn-name header from kibana. ES version = 7.17.0 Kibana version = 7.17.22 ---

> [@sameerpatel37](#): > > kbn-name You have only two options: - Strip this header with the reverse proxy, if you have one in front of Kibana - Set `server.name` in `kibana.yml` to something else (this value is used for `kbn-name`) ---

I have already tried second solution which is to set the server.name in kibana.yml it seems not working and still expose the same hostname of the server in kbn-name ---

That > [@sameerpatel37](#): > > I have already tried second solution which is to set the server.name in kibana.yml it seems not working and still expose the same hostname of the server in kbn-name That's weird, we even have a test that validates that `server.name` properly reflected in `kbn-name` HTTP response header: [kibana/packages/core/http/core-http-server-internal/src/lifecycle\_handlers.test.ts at 340887d44c399a53343bd527ce0f893518b5eba8 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/340887d44c399a53343bd527ce0f893518b5eba8/packages/core/http/core-http-server-internal/src/lifecycle_handlers.test.ts#L395-L418). Can you try again maybe, and if you have multiple Kibana instances behind a load balancer, make sure you make this change for all Kibana instances. ---
