Hello, I'm using Kinana 3 and I'm looking for a way to set dashboard based on some user id. The user IDs are indexed so by filtering or querying it is possible to provide a kind of restricted view of the data. Is it possible to configure a kibana dashboard with some kind of pre-defined, read-only filter? It has to be read-only because we don't want a user to change the filter and get an access to the data of another user Antoine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You have to use something else, such as a proxy like nginx or apache, to handle this.
