You need to enable [ElastisearchWriter](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-2/latest/doc/09-object-types/#elasticsearchwriter) in order to configure icinga sending its performance data to elasticsearch. However, I don’t know about any icingaweb module to integrate kibana, means you have to use two GUIs.

You need to adapt ` /etc/icinga2/features-available/elasticsearch.conf` to your needs and enable it with

> icinga2 feature enable elasticsearch  
> systemctl reload icinga2
