Hi,

I have 2 basic questions. Can some one try to answer these

1. Where does the kibana space info stored? any specific index like .kibana?
2. Is namespace(apm) and kibana spaces same or different?

Thanks in advance

Yes, `.kibana` is an alias that will point to an index based on what version you are running and that is where various settings are kept.

The APM data itself is stored in different indices to the Kibana data.

Thanks for clarifying the first point .

I am referring the "namespace" term in APM and want to if that is same as kibana "space" or different.
