How does Kibana generate dashboard share link, I mean do they take index name in their url to differentiate between different dashboard.

Yes, if you're on a newer version of kibana you'll see a url that looks something like this:

```auto
https://localhost:5601/clj/app/kibana#/dashboard/1fb433d0-3cda-11e7-85d1-ef34fbbe529c?_g=(refreshInterval%3A(display%3AOff%2Cpause%3A!f%2Cvalue%3A0)%2Ctime%3A(from%3Anow-30d%2Cmode%3Aquick%2Cto%3Anow))

```

The part after `/dashboard/` is the ID of the dashboard.
