Hello,

I've been demoing Kibana 4 and will probably be offering some more feedback  
over the next few days, but wanted to touch on the template  
replacement(RISON URL's). I had a think about this and it seems a bit  
insufficient for how I currently utilize templates. I often want to link  
to a template from multiple sources and pass in a few key parameters, such  
as cluster number and name. After that I can tweak, modify and update the  
dashboard with the changes visible on the same link. I see a few couple  
options with this:  
1.) Redistribute the links(Yuck!)  
2.) Redirect a stable endpoint to the updated URL, injecting the parameters  
into the RISON URL

Option one is a bit gross, and option two has no integration into Kibana 4  
itself currently :[ What is everyone else thinking?

-Greg
