Hi
Is it possible to somehow formulate query JSON for filter so it would work only against specific index?
Need this to somehow make sensible searches when having visualizations for different indexes on the same dashboard.
Cheers!

You can setup aliases in ES that contain filters, that might be an option.
That might only work for specific, pre-built dashboards though.

Thanks Mark!
I'll give aliases a closer look.
ps. it seems for now I can get the display I want with filters using negative logic 😉
