Hi folks I want to add a small feature to Kibana, however I could not understand whole structure of Kibana. Particularly I want to add a dropdown menu to be able to choose host to display the logs accordingly. [https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zxUq8HWF3as/UrgCTQxkV5I/AAAAAAAAAMA/qW\_7YD6TgAA/s1600/Screenshot+from+2013-12-23+11%3A27%3A55.png](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zxUq8HWF3as/UrgCTQxkV5I/AAAAAAAAAMA/qW_7YD6TgAA/s1600/Screenshot+from+2013-12-23+11%3A27%3A55.png) Where should I start from? How can I write a query to filter logs? Thanks in advance... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

May be path:"/var/log/\*" could work? But it depends on your analyzer for field `path` I guess. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 23 décembre 2013 at 10:42:17, Salih Kardan ([kardan38@gmail.com](mailto:kardan38@gmail.com)) a écrit: Hi folks I want to add a small feature to Kibana, however I could not understand whole structure of Kibana.

Actually, I probably could not explain my problem very well. Here is another screen shot: [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6nu5mhvVNLY/UrglwNJaSII/AAAAAAAAAMQ/VdnxQvU9Co4/s1600/Screenshot+from+2013-12-23+13%3A58%3A18.png](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6nu5mhvVNLY/UrglwNJaSII/AAAAAAAAAMQ/VdnxQvU9Co4/s1600/Screenshot+from+2013-12-23+13%3A58%3A18.png) When choose Host 1 from dropdown menu, I want to filter all logs from list of logs. To make this happen, should I write a new controller or something else?
