How to link to Error Group IDs

[Matthew_Petrie (Matthew)]

Kibana version : 7.6.2
Elasticsearch version : 7.6.2
APM Server version :7.6.2
APM Agent language and version : Node.JS 3.3.0
Original install method : Elastic Cloud

Is there anything special in your setup? No

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant):

In APM > Services > choose a service > Errors tab there are error group IDs i.e. f1b0b. Is there a way to link to an error group id within Kibana? When I click on the error group ID the url is very long, part of it does start with the error group ID however there are then lots of other characters (FYI replaced lots of characters so not real URL!):

https://xxx.yyy.zzz.cloud.es.io:0/app/apm#/services/XXX/errors/f1b0b4049fc89727347795bd3d8fc472

I've tried shortening the URL to just the end of the error group ID however this doesn't work:

https://xxx.yyy.zzz.cloud.es.io:0/app/apm#/services/XXX/errors/f1b0b

Essentially we are wanting a quick way to link to an error group ID in Kibana from our task management software.

Any help would be appreciated & apologies if I've missed something obvious!

Thanks, Matthew

@Matthew_Petrie in this case f1b0b4049fc89727347795bd3d8fc472 is the error group ID. f1b0b is simply a substring of that ID. I can see how that is confusing though. As a workaround, you should be able to copy the error group ID from the breadcrumb:

Ah, ok. Yea, it seems odd why a substring of the ID is shown in the UI in that case as it has no particular use. Thanks for the workaround & getting back so quick
