== Configuring Kibana

The Kibana server reads properties from the `kibana.yml` file on startup. The
location of this file differs depending on how you installed {kib}. For example,
if you installed {kib} from an archive distribution (`.tar.gz` or `.zip`), by
default it is in `$KIBANA_HOME/config`. By default, with package distributions
(Debian or RPM), it is in `/etc/kibana`.
The default settings configure Kibana to run
on `localhost:5601`. To change the host or port number, or connect to Elasticsearch running on a different machine,
you'll need to update your `kibana.yml` file. You can also enable SSL and set a variety of other options. Finally, environment variables can be injected into configuration using `${MY_ENV_VAR}` syntax.
