Hello, I want to automatically update the markdown query input from the filter given in dashboard.  
what ever i give filter on that dashboard should be automatically given input to markdown so that i cant see the filter applied on dashboard i gave in markdown.

Hi @venkatesh_prasanth, unfortunately I don't think this is possible.

To my surprise, I also can't find a related feature request.  
If you'd like, you could file one [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature\_request.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md)

Also please note, there is a way to create custom dashboard actions to navigate between dashboards and to preserver filters/queries in between navigations: [Create custom dashboard actions | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/drilldowns.html)  
But this method doesn't work for markdown ☹

I found a alternative I used TSVB -\> Datatable in that i made list of host name -\> panel settings i have mentioned to the dashboard to which it should go.

Note: Similar to TOP HOST BY CPU / TOP HOST BY MEMORY in metricbeat dashboard.
