Hi everyone. We created an IFrame communicator plugin which enables you controlling an embedded (in an iframe) Kibana dashboard. (instead of reloading the whole page when you require a change) The plugin demonstrates how you can communicate with the internal Kibana AngularJS framework. It's currently not well documented (at all) - but if you need help with this - feel free to contact us and if this gets some more attraction we will add some examples . The code is available under: > **[bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin](https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin)** > > kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin - A kibana plugin to demonstrate how can one communicate directly with Kibana hosted inside an IFrame, without the need to reload the iframe Enjoy!

@bondib1 Can you please elaborate what this plugin offers.I am not clear about the offering as there is hardly any documentation at all. Some video or screenshot should help. I use kibana visualizations inside an iframe from another application. So, this could be useful for me. Thanks for sharing your work. ---
