No, this setting is only configurable via `kibana.yml` file or environment variable of the Kibana server process.

I have a belk deployment, so in which pod should I make this change?  
elasticsearch-master, elasticsearch-client, elasticsearch-data or kibana pod?  
Can this change made "on the fly"?

It has to be made in the kibana pod as this is a kibana-specific setting. I think you have to restart the Kibana process for this setting to take effect.

This parameter it is missing from kibana.yaml. What is the default value for that?
