When researching an issue, it can be useful to inspect log entries around a filtered entry. In my case, looking at the raw log records around the issue can help determine the root cause.
It appears this isn't in the base functionality:

"This is not built into kibana 3 nor the current version of kibana 4. My suggestion would be to edit the table display to add a new link to each row. The link could be populated with the object\_id and date range (+/- 15 min, etc) and open a kibana page in a new window.
This would be based around the Templates and Scripts functionality."

Q: Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Erik
