@tahseen_fatima,

If you click the three dots on the top-right of a visualization, and then click on Inspect:

In the flyout, change View: Data to View: Requests:

You should see the query that ran for that specific visualization:

If you run this query as a superuser, is any data returned?

Hi,
@Larry_Gregory thank you for your reply.

When I am running with the user which I have created, I am getting No request logged

When running with super user getting the same as above. May be this is due to TSVB visualization.

But I am able to see both dashboards in default space, not in the space which I have created role based.

I had the same issue with my custom metricbeat dashboard. What I did:

  1. Go to Management
  2. Under Security, select Roles
  3. Create a New Role (eg _custom_role)
  4. Under Index Privileges, assign priviledge to the index you want to be accessible to your custom user(in my case, my index is metr*)
  5. Crate a New User
  6. Give new user the role of kibana_dashboard_only_user and _custom_role

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
I solved it by creating new user and new sapces. I did the processes again with scratch and it solved my problem.

Thanks,
Tahseen.
