Hi Guys, I'm trying to get my head around the following: Is it possible to have a Discover Link included in the E-Mail Alert? The Use-Case is as following: Whenever I receive an Alert over the Mail Connector, I'd like to have a Link in that E-Mail that leads me directly to Discover and displays all of the entries regarding this Alert. I do believe something similar has existed? If this still does work, whats the Field name I have to place in the Alert-Mail? Thanks for the help in Advance! ---

Hi @_Thomas, Welcome to the community! I'm not aware of a way to add the link to the discover menu with parameters. Have you looked at the email attachment feature to see if [sending a generated dashboard report as an attachment](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/actions-email.html#configuring-email-attachments) would work for you? Let us know! ---

Hi @carly.richmond Thanks for the swift reply. I've had a quick glance at your Article - this however is sadly not what I'm looking for. I do believe in an older Version of Elasticsearch there was a possibility to add the Discover Link with the Timeframe from when the Alert triggered. I might be wrong, though. ---

Thanks for confirming. I did find [this old thread from 2016](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/alert-to-contain-link-to-kibana-search-results/57750) that suggests having the link as metadata and then invoking the property in the email body. Is that closer to what you need? ---

This looks more promising - appreciate that! 🙂 Looking through the attached github Link - it seems that this is either a Feature Request or something you guys aren't supporting for long. Do you happen to know, whether or not something like that will make it into a future (major/minor) release? I guess I'm probably not the only one, interested in that feature/function 😅 ---

Hi @_Thomas, Do you mean the issue for adding documentation of the RISON format? > > > The format of the URL parameters is \[RISON\](https://github.com/Nanonid/rison), b…ut there is no documentation around the structure of this object. It doesn't appear to be a raw ES query object converted from JSON to RISON. Aside from reverse-engineering by reading the source code - there should be some documentation about the structure of the objects passed so that URLs can be easily generated by external systems. > \## Example use-case > 1. ELK is aggregating log information to a central place. > 2. An error occurs on an application server. > 3. An email is sent with the corresponding Kibana Discover URL which narrows down the time-frame and applies some filters. > 4. An engineer clicks on the URL and is able to quickly get the log information they need to debug issue. I see that issue has been closed due to inactivity, but there is a bit about interacting with that format [here in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-navigation.html#state-sync) and also in [this forum post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-g-and-a-parameters-in-the-dashboards-url-string/264642). Hope that helps! ---

Hi, yes that was the Link I was referring to. I'll have a closer look into the Documentation as well as the other Link you've posted. I appreciate the help on that one 🙂
