Hi, I would like to automatically create a url and pass to my users so they could see the results of the query from Kibana. The query needs to contains something similar to this: { "query": { "match": { "kubernetes.pod\_name.keyword": { "query": "my\_pod\_name", "type": "phrase" } } } } "my\_pod\_name" is dynamically created. I've tried to create a filter but the url looks nothing like the query and contains guids and auto generated values which I do not understand how I can get them. Is it a simple get command or should it be a post command? How to I crate and pass such url to users? Thanks ---

Unfortunately, there isn't a great to accomplish this now as our URL's are [RISON](https://github.com/Nanonid/rison) encoded, which is not friendly. There is work being done that will improve this in the future, though. You're best bet is to create a filter on Discover which includes the Pod Name, and replace that value with your dynamic one. For example: `http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/discover?_g=(refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-7d,mode:quick,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(_source),filters:!(('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:d3d7af60-4c81-11e8-b3d7-01146121b73d,key:Carrier,negate:!f,params:(query:JetBeats,type:phrase),type:phrase,value:JetBeats),query:(match:(Carrier:(query:JetBeats,type:phrase))))),index:d3d7af60-4c81-11e8-b3d7-01146121b73d,interval:auto,query:(language:lucene,query:''),sort:!(timestamp,desc))` This is a filter on `Carrier: JetBeats`. If I want to create a URL to show me results of a specific carrier, I would just need to make that value dynamic. ---

Thank you. I;ve created a filter. How do I share this url now (so that I could make changes to the pod\_name? ---

Click the share button at the top of Discover. ---

> [@tylersmalley](#): > > Discover I've created such filter, shared it. Copied the link from the saved dashboard then changed the name of the pod to a different one (3 places). Copied the link and paste it to a browser. What I got is a kibana page with the two different pods as a filter... which is not what I wanted... Am I doing something wrong?
