Adding a page to the navigation bar in Kibana 4

问题:

I am attempting to add a welcome/intro page to Kibana 4 and need to modify the navigation menu. I have found the navigation source html document at /src/kibana/plugins/kibana/kibana.html but cannot figure out where the tab names are being injected from.

Here is the list code block where the call is being made:

<li ng-repeat="app in apps.inOrder | filter:{show: true}" ng-class="{active: activeApp === app}">
    <a ng-href="#{{app.lastPath}}" bo-text="app.name"></a>
</li>

Which correlates to the words "Discover", "Visualize", "Dashboard", and "Settings" as shown here:

I would expect there to be a configuration file, but I can't seem to find it...

I added a page in Kibana 4.1.1 like this:

• copy src/kibana/plugins/settings to src/kibana/plugins/help
• remove
  • src/kibana/plugins/help/styles
  • src/kibana/plugins/help/saved_object_registry.js
  • src/kibana/plugins/help/sections/advanced
  • src/kibana/plugins/help/sections/indices
  • src/kibana/plugins/help/sections/objects

Then I refactored all code inside src/kibana/plugins/help (replace settings with help).

Surely not the easiest way of doing things, and very much not endorsed by elastic.co. I hope a supported way of doing things will not be too far away.
