Hi @DG13 thanks for your interest in Kibana,
To understand better the problem we need the following:

• the version of kibana you are currently using
• the URL of the current dashboard (you can remove the IP/host and any other sensible field
• any other details from the error. Does that error provides you some more details? a stack trace? if not can you check the browser Dev Tools console? (in chrome under More Tools-> Developer Tools clicking on the menu on the top right corner of chrome)
• any related error in the kibana logs?

Hi ,
Here are the requested details
Purpose of the url shorten - I would like to shorten the URL with full screen to show the user the clear screen without filters on the top with just markdown with links , think of it as landing page. If anybody knows any other alternative to the problem please do share.
Kibana Version - v 7.1.0
URL used for shortening -
-http://xx.xx.xx.xx/app/kibana#/dashboard/9b40aa50-962a-11e9-9e1d-bb5cadafbcc3?_g=()&_a=(description:'',filters:!(),fullScreenMode:!t,options:(hidePanelTitles:!t,useMargins:!f),panels:!((embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:'4',w:48,x:0,y:0),id:'9c09c540-a2e4-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'4',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:'5',w:40,x:8,y:13),id:'969907e0-a2e6-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'5',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:4,i:'6',w:39,x:8,y:6),id:da448720-a2e7-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:'6',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:3,i:'7',w:40,x:8,y:10),id:'85df5830-a2e8-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'7',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:9,i:'8',w:40,x:8,y:19),id:a1817bf0-a2ec-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:'8',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0')),query:(language:lucene,query:''),timeRestore:!f,title:'Landing%20Page',viewMode:view)

Url after shortening which gives error - unable to parse url -
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/app/kibana#/dashboard/9b40aa50-962a-11e9-9e1d-bb5cadafbcc3?_g=()&_a=(description:,filters:!(),fullScreenMode:!t,options:(hidePanelTitles:!t,useMargins:!f),panels:!((embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:4,w:48,x:0,y:0),id:9c09c540-a2e4-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:4,type:visualization,version:7.1.0),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:5,w:40,x:8,y:13),id:969907e0-a2e6-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:5,type:visualization,version:7.1.0),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:4,i:6,w:39,x:8,y:6),id:da448720-a2e7-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:6,type:visualization,version:7.1.0),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:3,i:7,w:40,x:8,y:10),id:85df5830-a2e8-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:7,type:visualization,version:7.1.0),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:9,i:8,w:40,x:8,y:19),id:a1817bf0-a2ec-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:8,type:visualization,version:7.1.0)),query:(language:lucene,query:),timeRestore:!f,title:Landing%20Page,viewMode:view)

Rest API docs which I tried to shorten - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/url-shortening-api-api-shorten-url.html

Usage - I used the curl command for url shortening as when in Full screen the url shortening in Kibana UI is not shown

Let me know if you would need any other information.

Appreciate the help !!

Thanks

Hi,
I've just tested locally on 7.1.0 and I don't see any particular error when shortening the first url.

My POST request is:

{
	"url":"/app/kibana#/dashboard/9b40aa50-962a-11e9-9e1d-bb5cadafbcc3?_g=()&_a=(description:'',filters:!(),fullScreenMode:!t,options:(hidePanelTitles:!t,useMargins:!f),panels:!((embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:'4',w:48,x:0,y:0),id:'9c09c540-a2e4-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'4',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:6,i:'5',w:40,x:8,y:13),id:'969907e0-a2e6-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'5',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:4,i:'6',w:39,x:8,y:6),id:da448720-a2e7-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:'6',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:3,i:'7',w:40,x:8,y:10),id:'85df5830-a2e8-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa',panelIndex:'7',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0'),(embeddableConfig:(),gridData:(h:9,i:'8',w:40,x:8,y:19),id:a1817bf0-a2ec-11e9-b829-b7eba9f34faa,panelIndex:'8',type:visualization,version:'7.1.0')),query:(language:lucene,query:''),timeRestore:!f,title:'Landing%20Page',viewMode:view)"
}

and I've got a valid urlId like

{
    "urlId": "b93b5548aafe6ae05000b6f8dd133a8c"
}

that used with in the following url: http://localhost:5601/goto/b93b5548aafe6ae05000b6f8dd133a8c resolves correctly to the original URL.

Could you please share a screenshot with the unable to parse url error message? Does that message come from Kibana when opening the /goto/ shortened url?
