We are running Elastic and Kibana on our K8s cluster. I see a storageClass setting for the Elastic chart but not kibana. Where are for example all the settings or index pattern from Kibana saved ?

They are stored in the connected Elasticsearch cluster next to your own data in a set of special indices starting with `.kibana`

Snapshotting your ES cluster will also make a backup of all saved objects in Kibana.
