Hi @_Thomas,

Do you mean the issue for adding documentation of the RISON format?

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4338>
>
> 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!
