This repository contains all source files for the first tutorial, from the book Kibana Plugin Development (https://leanpub.com/kibanaplugindevelopment).
A simple plugin which customizes the Kibana theme. The plugin will be loaded after the core application, so it might take a couple of milliseconds for the modifications to take effect. This means you might see the original preloader flashing by.
There are a couple of reasons for writing a plugin instead of customizing the core files, for example:
- it's easier to share the modifications and if you want to upgrade Kibana to another version;
- you don't have to remodify all files again;
A short demo:
cd KIBANA_HOME/plugins
git clone https://github.com/ErikvdVen/kpd-custom-theme.git kpd_custom_theme
cd kpd_custom_theme
Important: If you have any problem with the plugin version (like a warning message "it expected Kibana version "x.x.x", and found "x.x.x"") only change the value of the "version" tag on the package.json to your Kibana version
cd KIBANA_HOME
rm -rf plugins/kpd_custom_theme/
