Hey,  
is it possible for me to create a general dashboard, embed it in my portal and then throw parameters specific to each client and have the dashboard read those parameters and only show the related numbers?

Hi,

I think I understand what you want: We too had the requirement to embed a dashboard in our web application and to filter the data based on the user/called page.  
In our application the administrator configures a base url like this:  
[https://my.kibana.net:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/79ffd6e0-faa0-11e6-947f-177f697178b8?embed=true&\_a=(query:(language:lucene,query:'beat.name:"$host$"')](https://my.kibana.net:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/79ffd6e0-faa0-11e6-947f-177f697178b8?embed=true&_a=(query:(language:lucene,query:'beat.name:%22%24host%24%22')))

At runtime the variable host will be replaced with the selected host. You can do any lucene query you want in that.
