That indeed is the reply I got from most of the sources but somehow I have 
not been asked to adopt that method. What I am trying to do now is to 
change the config.js file. I have written a function that receives query 
parameters from the url but I have to assign it to kibana-index so that it 
creates a new index by that name and does not use the default kibana-int. I 
have no idea how to access kibana-index in javascript. Its defined in a 
function Settings . This is my function below.

 var proj_type = getProjectType("prjtype");

function getProjectType(type)
{
  var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
  var variables = query.split("&");
  for (var i = 0; i<variables.length; i++) {
       var param = variables[i].split("=");
       if (param[0] == type) {
       return param[1];
       }
   }
   
 }  
  
So proj_type now has the name of the project. Now I want to say something 
like,

if (proj_type !=null){

kibana-index : "kibana-"+proj_type 

}

This does not work though. :(
