OpenSearch Dashboards custom branding

Introduced 1.2 {: .label .label-purple }

By default, OpenSearch Dashboards uses the OpenSearch logo, but if you want to use custom branding elements such as the favicon or main Dashboards logo, you can do so by editing opensearch_dashboards.yml or by including a custom opensearch_dashboards.yml file when you start your OpenSearch cluster.

For example, if you're using Docker to start your OpenSearch cluster, include the following lines in the opensearch-dashboards section of your docker-compose.yml file:

volumes:
  - ./opensearch_dashboards.yml:/usr/share/opensearch-dashboards/config/opensearch_dashboards.yml

Doing so replaces the Docker image's default opensearch_dashboards.yml with your custom opensearch_dashboards.yml file, so be sure to include your desired settings as well. For example, if you want to configure TLS for OpenSearch Dashboards, see Configure TLS for OpenSearch Dashboards.

Re-launch OpenSearch Dashboards, and OpenSearch Dashboards now uses your custom elements.

Branding elements

The following elements in OpenSearch Dashboards are customizable:

Setting	Corresponding branding element
logo	Header logo. See #1 in the image.
mark	OpenSearch Dashboards mark. See #2 in the image.
loadingLogo	Loading logo used when OpenSearch Dashboards is starting. See #3 in the image.
faviconUrl	Website icon. Loads next to the application title. See #4 in the image.
applicationTitle	The application's title. See #5 in the image.

To start using your own branding elements in OpenSearch Dashboards, first uncomment this section of opensearch_dashboards.yml:

# opensearchDashboards.branding:
  # logo:
    # defaultUrl: ""
    # darkModeUrl: ""
  # mark:
    # defaultUrl: ""
    # darkModeUrl: ""
  # loadingLogo:
    # defaultUrl: ""
    # darkModeUrl: ""
  # faviconUrl: ""
  # applicationTitle: ""

Add the URLs you want to use as branding elements to the appropriate setting. Valid image types are SVG, PNG, and GIF.

Customization of dark mode Dashboards is also available, but you first must supply a valid link to defaultUrl, and then link to your preferred image with darkModeUrl. You are not required to customize all branding elements, so if you wanted to, it's perfectly valid to change just the logo. Leave unchanged elements as commented.

The following example demonstrates how to use SVG files as logos but leaves the other elements as defaults.

logo:
  defaultUrl: "https://example.com/validUrl.svg"
  darkModeUrl: "https://example.com/validDarkModeUrl.svg"
# mark:
#   defaultUrl: ""
#   darkModeUrl: ""
# loadingLogo:
#   defaultUrl: ""
#   darkModeUrl: ""
# faviconUrl: ""
applicationTitle: "My custom application"

We recommend linking to images that are hosted on a web server, but if you really want to use locally hosted images, save your images inside assets, and then configure opensearch_dashboards.yml. You can access locally stored images through the ui/assets folder.

The following example assumes the default port of 5601 that Dashboards uses and demonstrates how to link to locally stored images.

logo:
  defaultUrl: "https://localhost:5601/ui/assets/my-own-image.svg"
  darkModeUrl: "https://localhost:5601/ui/assets/my-own-image.svg"
mark:
  defaultUrl: "https://localhost:5601/ui/assets/my-own-image2.svg"
  darkModeUrl: "https://localhost:5601/ui/assets/my-own-image2.svg"
# loadingLogo:
#   defaultUrl: ""
#   darkModeUrl: ""
# faviconUrl: ""
applicationTitle: "My custom application"

Sample configuration

The following configuration enables SSL within OpenSearch Dashboards and uses custom branding elements to replace the OpenSearch logo and application title.

server.host: "0"
opensearch.hosts: ["https://localhost:9200"]
opensearch.ssl.verificationMode: none
opensearch.username: "kibanaserver"
opensearch.password: "kibanaserver"
opensearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [ authorization,securitytenant ]
#server.ssl.enabled: true
#server.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/server/certificate
#server.ssl.key: /path/to/your/server/key

opensearch_security.multitenancy.enabled: true
opensearch_security.multitenancy.tenants.preferred: ["Private", "Global"]
opensearch_security.readonly_mode.roles: ["kibana_read_only"]
# Use this setting if you are running opensearch-dashboards without https
opensearch_security.cookie.secure: false

opensearchDashboards.branding:
  logo:
    defaultUrl: "https://example.com/sample.svg"
    darkModeUrl: "https://example.com/sample.svg"
  # mark:
  #   defaultUrl: ""
  #   darkModeUrl: ""
  # loadingLogo:
  #   defaultUrl: ""
  #   darkModeUrl: ""
