Is there any way to extract the applied filters from the iframe of a dashboad programmatically? In my case, I have import a dashboard iframe into a django app and I want to get some how the applied filters in order to use these filters outside of kibana (request directly elasticsearch via django) ---

There would have to be code in Kibana that sends info to the parent page through post messaging. That isn't a built in feature, but there is a plugin that seems to offer that: [https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin](https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin) See also [Kibana Iframe Communicator](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-iframe-communicator/83037) Note that Elastic team members can not officially support or endorse 3rd party plugins. We do not review the code for security vulnerabilities or anything like that. ---
