Hello,

I have 3 index on my discover page (index1, index2 and index3) and I put index1 as default index. So when I click on the Discover page, by default I have index1.

I want to send a link to index2 to my colleague on the discover page. But when he clicks on the link, it is not the index2 which is displayed but the index1. What can I do to put a link to index2 which not redirect to index1 ? And I don't want to put index2 as default index.

Thanks for the help !

What version of kibana are you using?  
It works fine for me on Kibana 6.4.0.  
An URL looks something like this:  
[https://ipaddress/app/kibana#/discover?\_g=()&\_a=(columns:!(\_source),index:'logstash-\*',interval:auto,query:(language:lucene,query:''),sort:!(\_score,desc](https://ipaddress/app/kibana#/discover?_g=()&_a=(columns:!(_source),index:'logstash-*',interval:auto,query:(language:lucene,query:''),sort:!(_score,desc)))

As long as you have that index field in the URL it will show it if it exists.

I'm using Kibana 6.2.0  
I installed Kibana 6.4.2 for test and it's working as I want. I think I'm going to upgrade 🙂  
Thanks for the quick reply Marius
