Hola,

The Kibana "load\_from" option in the elastic docs is a sweet feature if I'm running kibana on localhost.  
I'd like to have some similar functionality target my production instance to help my front-line techs to do initial triage.

On the docs site, and example would be:  
[View in Console](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dev_tools/console?load_from=https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snippets/cluster-health/1.json "Open snippet in Console")

Is thre a method to do something that populates or appends content to the editor window, say:  
[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dev\_tools/console](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dev_tools/console)?  
... but pass some json directly on the URL, like: ?editor\_append='GET \_cluster/health' ???

Alternatively, is is possible to pre-populate the Dev Tools Ace editor window with a few default example GET queries to give those people on the help desk a head start?

Thanks,  
-kb

AFAIK that feature does not exist in Console, feel free to file a feature request on our [github repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) 🙂
