Set metrics:max_buckets with curl

Hi,
I want to change the default value of "metrics:max_buckets" at startup of Kibana.
The end user should not have to go into advanced settings and change this for each kibana instance.

I have tried curl command to set it but not succeed.
I get code 400 in return every time.

Can someone tell me what is wrong?

curl --verbose -POST "http://kibana:5601/api/kibana/settings/metrics:max_buckets" -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linu…) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, /' -H 'Acc
ept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8' -H 'kbn-version: 5.6.3' -d '{"value":"3000"}'

Could you try it again with kbn-version 5.5.2 in the request header?

It worked, thanks!!!

I did not notice I was running towards an old instance.
