Hi,  
I`m using Kibana 4.5.4 to visualize syslogs from my cisco routers and switches.  
Sometimes I need to search logs from 2 or more nodes and want them to display in different colours by hosts IP-addresses.  
Is it possible to do it direct at "discover" page, not at "visualize" page?

Thanks

You can use field formatters to color certain values in a field throughout Kibana. You could use this feature to at least give the host IPs a unique color. It wouldn't color the entire row in Discover, but might at least provide some visual cue.
