Hello,

I would like to add a filter to this Term Aggregation "jobname= 'YGACJD89'" Is there anyway we can do this in Kibana?

Also we should be able to dynamically change the jobname when this visualization is added to a Dashboard

There are a couple of ways that you can accomplish this.

- The easiest way is to just use the Search box at the top of the screen and type in: `jobname=YGACJD89`

- Add a filter to the visualization by clicking on any data point. Then edit the filter to filter by `jobname` instead of `programname`

Please let me know if that doesn't solve your problem.
