How to do Context based search (events before and after a particular event) on kibana??  
Example: If i got an issue at 13th event, i would like see all the events which happened before(1-12th) and after (14th-24th) this event to have a better idea about the issue.  
It would be very helpful if someone can provide me with the suitable working prototype.

Thanks  
Pramod

Hi Pramod,

We don't currently have this feature, but it's something the community has been asking for, for awhile: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/275](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/275). Please watch this issue to stay apprised of progress.

For what it's worth, the Kibana team has very recently turned a lot of attention to this issue, so I hope we will be able to make some progress on it in time to address your needs.

Thanks,  
CJ
