Does anyone know if it is possible to change the 'kibana' text in Kibana URL to different name? We are using Kibana 6.3.0 version.

This app name is the technical id of the core Kibana app - timelion e.g. has a separate one. It is baked in very deeply into the code, so you would have to create a fork of Kibana, change all occurences and build Kibana yourself to make it work.

The most important ones are [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core\_plugins/kibana/index.js#L26](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core_plugins/kibana/index.js#L26) and [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core\_plugins/kibana/index.js#L46](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core_plugins/kibana/index.js#L46), but it might be hardcoded in other places too.

Yes, the `elasticsearch` plugin is referencing the Kibana plugin - you also have to change the name in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core\_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L17](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/src/core_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L17) There are probably much more errors like this, you have to go through them one by one as doing something like this was not intended in any way.

The same solution applies there, just fix the errors as they occur ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/x-pack/plugins/ml/index.js#L26](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.3/x-pack/plugins/ml/index.js#L26) )

The config key in your yml file is probably `want.index` now (remember, you renamed the plugin). Of course that also means you have to change all cases of `kibana.index` in all of Kibana to `want.index` (and there are other config keys that also start with `kibana` and have to be treated the same way: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) )

There are also a lot of `kibana.index` references in the code, you also have to change those.

Did you just reload the page while still having `app/kibana` in the URL? Please remove the path and go to `http://<your instance>/app/want`. Another possible issue is that you didn't change the default value of `server.defaultRoute` (which defaults to `app/kibana`).

There will be very likely numerous other issues that have to be fixed to make this work because you are doing substantial changes to a complex code base. This kind of request exceeds the level of help offered in this forum. For doing such deep changes to the product, you need an experienced Javascript developer to work out all of the issues.

If you feel like it should be a feature of Kibana itself, please open a feature request in the Github repository. If you have a subscription, another possible channel for your feature request is to open a support case for this.
