How to use ES|QL control value as a filter

[tallakh (Tallak)]

Hi!

I'm testing out ES|QL controls in a dashboard, but I'm not able to use it as I expected. I've created a control with static values, but using the variable name in the query fails.

According to this documentation that should be possible?

Cheers,

Hello @tallakh

I tried the same for the demo index following the documentation and did not see any problem :

Maybe try to write the query again as i do not see any issues.

Thanks!!

Thanks! I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I got it working.

I am trying exactly the same, but I simply cannot get this control to work: It always reports an error with the column (and the value corresponding to the first value of the control).

I have tried different browsers, all with the same outcome. Any suggestions please?

Hello @bjornbear

Could you please share the kibana version, screenshot of the error in order to review why it is not working for you?

Thanks!!
