Custom Queries in Kibana Panels

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

What I'm looking for, is a way to add custom query parameters to some
panels in Kibana.

For instance, I want to restrict the _type on my date histogram. My user
can still do a * search from the search bar, but I'd like to 'append' the
_type:'something' query to one specific panel... in a way that's hard coded
in the configuration/dashboard.json file, and not something the user can
override.

Anyone know if that's possible?

If you can get the dashboard to show what you want, you can export the json
and then put it under $KIBANA_HOME/app/dashboards and call it via
http://KIBANA_URL/index.html#/dashboard/file/$FILE.json.

As these are on the filesystem, they are read only from the users
perspective.

Use multiple queries. Make one query that is the _type:"sometype" and pin
it. Leave the other unpinned so it's easy to hack in any old value.

Then in the panel select the free form query and the pinned one for the
type.

Here is what it would look like http://d.pr/i/FXHL
