Kibana: when kibana.defaultAppId=dashboard, the default page is "new dashboard"

Created on 21 Apr 2018 · 7Comments · Source: elastic/kibana

Currently, when I set kibana.defaultAppId: "dashboard" in kibana.yml, and I launch http://localhost:5601, I get "Edit new Dashboard" screen, even if I already have dashboards created.

It would be better to have "Dashboard list" screen, which is coherent with "click on Dashboard tab" action which already led to "Dashboard list" screen.

You're right ! It works great with dashboards !
I blame myself for not thinking about it sooner !

Hmm, we did recently merge https://github.com/elastic/x-pack-kibana/pull/5075, wonder if it caused this. I thought I checked existing behavior with that PR and all looked good (quite possible I missed something though when reviewing).

Hi @Stacey-Gammon,

Up to my tests, this behavior is old : I have this behavior with Kibana 5.6.
And I have also this behavior with Kibana 6.1 and Kibana 6.2.

So IMO, I don't think it is an issue led by a recent PR (though I can't see the PR you mention because it is on a private repository).

@fbaligand can you try changing dashboard to dashboards? defaultAppId more or less appends #/${defaultAppId} to app/kibana so you should be able to add query params and change the routes as needed.
