Hi
You can probably read through this link to get more idea on creating custom plugins:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html)
also I would suggest : [https://www.timroes.de/2016/02/21/writing-kibana-plugins-custom-applications/](https://www.timroes.de/2016/02/21/writing-kibana-plugins-custom-applications/)
You can set a default app in your config/kibana.yml. Just uncomment this option and change it to your app name: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/config/kibana.yml#L25-L26](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/config/kibana.yml#L25-L26)
Thanks

I think the `server.defaultRoute` setting is what you’re looking for. It’s listed on [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) Do look at this and let us know if it helps.
Thanks
