Hi there,  
I have a couple of index with the same type, I created a dashboard with 4 visualizations for one index. I want this same dashboard to be dynamic for all indices means I need kind of drop-down button where I can select the index and check dashboard. With a respective index, the dashboard should be changed.

Please help me with this..

Hi,

Unfortunately its not possible right now. You can have a dashboard which has components from multiple index patterns. But having a drop down on a dashboard to select an index pattern - you will have to write your own plugin for it. You can also search if one of the plugins here gives you what you need: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html)

Thanks,
