Hi all!  
I'm so new to Kibana I don't even know the terms. I am so sorry about that. My boss wants me to make some kibana dashboards. I have one dashboard that has test pass results as a bar chart. Each bar's y value is the number of tests executed. Each bar's x value is the time the test pass was started. The color of the bar will turn from green to red if any tests failed in that test pass. And I was able to get all of that working. But now, I want to click on one of the bars and be taken to a new dashboard that displays details about that particular test pass (for instance, what tests actually failed). But I don't know how to make it so when I click on that chart it goes someplace else. Help!!!!

Hi @Goishin, what you need are Drilldowns, which is a feature currently in development. There isn't a way to achieve what you want in Kibana today. You can follow the development of this feature on this [Github ticket](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/42845).

Hey Bargs, thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you (been super sick). What about putting a link in some sort of mouse over tooltip? Is that possible? I believe you can modify certain data fields to act like a hyperlink, what if I put my datafield in a tooltip and then people can click on the link in the tooltip. Would that work?

It's true that you can turn fields into hyperlinks using field formatters. We don't have a way to customize tooltips in charts though. But one thing you could do is create a dashboard with your bar chart next to a saved search or a table visualization that displays a field that you have configured to be a hyperlink. When you click on a bar in the chart, it will create a filter on the dashboard, which will filter down the results of the saved search/table vis. It would then only display the relevant hyperlink for the bar that you clicked.
