Hi  
I have kibana 7.17.1 in which I applied some filters to some index pattern in discover section and I have such url now:

```auto
https://kibana.example.com/app/discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-15h,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(message,container_name),filters:!(),index:'0f969b30-e0ba-11ec-9c8f-67d8a1fdc0e7',interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:'container_name:%20%22node%22'),sort:!(!('@timestamp',desc)))

```

I want to get some friendly, short url from that that I can share with end users. I read this [article](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/short-urls-api-create.html) but I don't understand what is exactly `locatorId` in my case. I also read [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-short-url-intended-use/297619) but it doesn't have an answer either - I don't know what is `DISCOVER_APP_LOCATOR` and what is "redirect endpoint" if this is better for my case.  
Thanks in advance.
