Hi,

I am trying to add "Custom filters or Some dropdown" on dashboard of Kibana, similar to the existing time  
filter on top right corner of the Kibana dashboard.

For example if we have filter or dropdown for country where in we can select the US or India and the graphs  
on kibana show the relevant changes after applying the filters.

Please give me idea how to add custom dropdown/filter on Kibana UI.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Gaurav

the kibana visualize only process aggResponse data. They all have the same query from global search and timepicker.

You may need to implement your own visualize plugin that make up the whole request by yourself.
