Hi  
I have created kibana dashboard from elasticsearch index and the dashboard consists of fields like source IP, destination IP etc. (router events). Now i want to have a controlling features in the dashboard like add/delete routers based on source IP. So when i choose add routers from the dashboard, all events from that routers will be visible in the dashboard and when i delete a source in the dashboard, the events from that router (based on source IP) will be deleted in the dashboard. Although this feature is similar to filter but i donot exactly like to use filter.

 ![195-2017-11-30-13-13-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/b/bbb87226e50371674f9ed7b0c1096e1b598e7d5b.png)

Is it possible ?  
Regards

Hi Makara,

I don't know what version you're on now, but a BRAND NEW feature is in the next release that I think is what you're looking for. Here's the github issue on it;

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11935>

6.1.0 should be released in a couple of weeks. But if you're adventurous I could point you to a snapshot build to try this feature (it would require Elasticsearch 6.1.0 as well). Just let me know.

If you're on an older version and aren't ready to upgrade, I think filters are the best solution. Some people create a Data Table visualization containing the field they want to filter on. And that filters everything on the dashboard.

Lee

Hi

@LeeDr

Thanks for the valuable information. I will definitely try out kibana 6.1.0 to have better controls over the inputs.
