Hi,

_1._ I used alot the ability to edit filters in Kibana3. E.g. just clicking  
on a loupe or dashboard -\> automatically creates a filter -\> edit the  
filter to either broaden, narrow or switch the scope.  
Is that gone in Kibana 4? I can seem to only toggle/negate/remove a filter  
after it got created but cannot seem to change the value anymore.

\*2. \*Is the plain event/data table gone? I used to have a dashboard where I  
filter interactively to the data I'm interested in. Then I check my event  
table (that just lists all data, in my case log events) to read my log  
events.  
It looks to me like that is now replaced by the Discover tab. When using my  
dashboards to narrow down my data, I get a nice filter list. However when I  
now switch to the Discover tab, then this filter list is replaced by what  
was visible beofre in the Discover tab. =\> I cannot visually filter anymore  
with a dashboard to the data I'm interested in and then read the log events  
for which I filtered down.

But maybe I'm missing something here. Any help appreciated.

Regads,  
Dieter

At least I now got the second part of my question. I simply need to save a  
search in the Discover tab and add that to my dashboard 🙂  
Still I wonder where filter editing has gone...
