Hi, at the beggining of a job creation, one has to select an index, I have an index with metrics of various groups of machines, like the index "CPU" will have cpu metrics of multiples groups, I was wandering if I could filter the index, so I can work with just one group, and a group only can see a job with their metrics

something like: filter by hostrgroup : "groupone"

```auto
             |__job for groupone
index-cpu -->|__job for grouptwo
             |__job for groupthree

```

In the ML UI at the first step of job creation one has to either a) choose an index or b) choose the name of a _Saved Search_

The [Saved Search](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/save-open-search.html) is and easy way that you can filter the data in any way you would like and have that be the basis of your ML job.
