Hi all,  
is it possible to overwrite a file of a stardard Kibana release with a plugin for it?

I suppose the answer is no, but maybe I do not consider all aspects.

Regards,  
Andrea

It might be possible, but it's definitely not recommended or supported. What are you trying to do that might only be possible by overwriting a file? I might be able to help identify other ways.

Sorry for my late response.

I'm experimenting on Kibana 6.5.0 and I'd like to apply 3 changes:

- Add a text in src/core\_plugins/kibana/public/dashboard/daskboard\_app.html
- Change the proxy used in src/core\_plugins/elasticsearch/lib/create\_proxy.js
- Add a filter on some "get" queries for Elasticsearch in src/core\_plugins/elasticsearch/lib/cluster.js

Probably there is a different and better solution than overwrite files for each of them.

Regards,  
Andrea
