Hey guys, just a simple question form an former Kibana3 user: In Kibana3 you had the possibility the select which global dashboard queries should apply to each visualization/panel, is it possible to do the same in Kibana4 dashboards? So that the visualization A and B use the global dashboard querystring, but visualization C is just using the settings, that are configured in the visualization itself. Thanks in advance ---

Yes. When you create the visualization, you can link it to an index (which will utilize the search bar for ad-hoc queries) or you can select a saved search, which will pin the vis only to that search. In dashboard, you can mix-and-match both types of visualizations. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/31e3549ad4ed57c6b3b59d03420904bcc49f56f4.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/2/2194504f296a8c4e4e236c4f55a297fc16d9a750.png) ---

Thanks for taking time to do such an detailed answer. Unfortunately thats not working, as it should - my example: First im gonna save the search: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/2/28197d8e56c102bf687f725f2fb0d8cf50be82e7.PNG) Next im gonna create an visualization and link it to the "Netflow" search: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4b6c3c4f56531244f2dcd800717ca6e9005d9ab8.PNG) Creating a Dashboard with the "\*" Query work: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/7/783057d7727ee99c0c2e991b598469dbbf03d417.PNG) But as soon as i apply a query which excludes the saved search, the visualization is not showing results: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/6/6ad6cfe6067d9db331e37bde711dc5afaf0381df.PNG) Am I missing something?

Any ideas on this? ---

Yeah, you're right. I don't think it quite works as expected. The global filter still applies to all dashboards. Please feel free to file an issue - I think the scenario makes sense: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) ---

Regarding to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5324](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5324) it seems like this is intended behaviour, so this post can be closed. ---
