Currently we have been able to host a KIBANA dashboard in an IFRAME. What we're trying to do is interact with that dashboard. When setting the filter and timestamp values, that dashboard should change its contents accordingly. In the other direction, we monitor the cookies and see what actions have been taken on the dashboard so that we can use them in our application.

Unfortunately, the behavior is not consistent. Sometimes information is updated in the filter and sometimes in the cookies. Does anyone know what the correct procedure is to follow?

You can inspect the parameters generated when sharing a dashboard to pass some state downstream. However, remember that this is not officially supported and may change anytime as with any other implementation detail.

Check [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/passing-data-into-kibana-iframe-state-and-accessing-it-via-a-plugin/235768/7) and [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-iframe-share-dashboard-query/87486) similiar discussions. This is a recurrent topic so you may find other threads as well.
