WARNING: Modifying the following settings can signficantly affect Kibana's performance and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. Setting a property's value to a blank field will revert to the default behavior, which may not be compatible with other configuration settings. Deleting a custom setting removes it from Kibana permanently.
.Kibana Settings Reference
[horizontal]
`query:queryString:options`:: Options for the Lucene query string parser.
`sort:options`:: Options for the Elasticsearch https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-sort.html[sort] parameter.
`dateFormat`:: The format to use for displaying pretty-formatted dates.
`dateFormat:tz`:: The timezone that Kibana uses. The default value of `Browser` uses the timezone detected by the browser.
`dateFormat:scaled`:: These values define the format used to render ordered time-based data. Formatted timestamps must adapt to the interval between measurements. Keys are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_intervals[ISO8601 intervals].
`defaultIndex`:: Default is `null`. This property specifies the default index.
`metaFields`:: An array of fields outside of `_source`. Kibana merges these fields into the document when displaying the document.
`discover:sampleSize`:: The number of rows to show in the Discover table.
`doc_table:highlight`:: Highlight results in Discover and Saved Searches Dashboard. Highlighing makes request slow when working on big documents. Set this property to `false` to disable highlighting.
`courier:maxSegmentCount`:: Kibana splits requests in the Discover app into segments to limit the size of requests sent to the Elasticsearch cluster. This setting constrains the length of the segment list. Long segment lists can significantly increase request processing time.
`fields:popularLimit`:: This setting governs how many of the top most popular fields are shown.
`histogram:barTarget`:: When date histograms use the `auto` interval, Kibana attempts to generate this number of bars.
`histogram:maxBars`:: Date histograms are not generated with more bars than the value of this property, scaling values when necessary.
`visualization:tileMap:maxPrecision`:: The maximum geoHash precision displayed on tile maps: 7 is high, 10 is very high, 12 is the maximum. http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-geohashgrid-aggregation.html#_cell_dimensions_at_the_equator[Explanation of cell dimensions].
`visualization:tileMap:WMSdefaults`:: Default properties for the WMS map server support in the tile map.
`visualization:colorMapping`:: Maps values to specified colors within visualizations.
`visualization:loadingDelay`:: Time to wait before dimming visualizations during query.
`csv:separator`:: A string that serves as the separator for exported values.
`csv:quoteValues`:: Set this property to `true` to quote exported values.
`history:limit`:: In fields that have history, such as query inputs, the value of this property limits how many recent values are shown.
`shortDots:enable`:: Set this property to `true` to shorten long field names in visualizations. For example, instead of `foo.bar.baz`, show `f.b.baz`.
`truncate:maxHeight`:: This property specifies the maximum height that a cell occupies in a table. A value of 0 disables truncation.
`indexPattern:fieldMapping:lookBack`:: The value of this property sets the number of recent matching patterns to query the field mapping for index patterns with names that contain timestamps.
`format:defaultTypeMap`:: A map of the default format name for each field type. Field types that are not explicitly mentioned use "_default_".
`format:number:defaultPattern`:: Default numeral format for the "number" format.
`format:bytes:defaultPattern`:: Default numeral format for the "bytes" format.
`format:percent:defaultPattern`:: Default numeral format for the "percent" format.
`format:currency:defaultPattern`:: Default numeral format for the "currency" format.
`timepicker:timeDefaults`:: The default time filter selection.
`timepicker:refreshIntervalDefaults`:: The time filter's default refresh interval.
`dashboard:defaultDarkTheme`:: Set this property to `true` to make new dashboards use the dark theme by default.
