@shaunrampersad Thanks for bringing it up. In case you built a configurable solution for yourself, feel free to open a PR with it.
@ruflin I've submitted a PR. Might not be the best solution but its what I've changed on my side to get it working
@shaunrampersad Thanks. Looks like we have now two proposals for the same thing https://github.com/elastic/beats-dashboards/pull/40 We will have a look at both.
@shaunrampersad @lmangani Thank you for submitting a PR to solve this issue. To fulfill all requests, I added support for command arguments to the load script:
./load.sh -url http://localhost:9200 -user admin -index .kenv1 Options: -h | -help Print the help menu. -l | -url Elasticseacrh URL. By default is http://localhost:9200. -u | -user Username to connect to Elasticsearch. By default no username is used. -i | -index Kibana index pattern where to save the dashboards, visualizations, index patterns. By default is .kibana.
Here is the related pull request: https://github.com/elastic/beats-dashboards/pull/42
Fixed by #42.
Hello Guys, I will seek some expert advise here. Cause currently we are working on the customization of our Kibana tool and we are trying to by pass the Kibana default index which was the 'kibana.index' and experimenting to alter it by creating another index. We want to have custom index so that all visualizations and dashboards will not go through the default one. Is that possible? We tried to modified some codes on kibana.yml and index.js files. See below.
//kibana.yml //We tried to create another index aside from kibana.index but it's failing.
//Ex. #kibana.index: "test" , #kibana.index: ".kibana_test", etc
//index.js //We tried to create another variable for kibanaIndex var kibanaIndex = server.config().get('kibana.index'); //Ex. var kibanaIndex = 'test', var testIndex = '.kibana', etc.
We tried to test different scenario by manipulating on those two points. Are we doing it right? If you have a documentation and process on how to properly customize the kibana index, it will very a appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :)

Hi
By default the load.sh will upload dashboards to http://localhost:9200/.kibana.
In the case of kibana installations which use custom indices, it might be worthwhile making the index a variable within the script so that the dashboard can be uploaded to multiple kibana installs.
E.G: ./load.sh http://localhost:9200 .kibana_env1 ./load.sh http://localhost:9200 .kibana_env2
Its not a major issue but more a nice to have. For now I'm editing the load.sh and replacing .kibana with other names and then loading.
Thanks shaun
