Hello,  
I'm working on a project that utilizes kibana , we have users that would be parsing logs at different times of different machines.

I wanted to know if there's an efficient way to know that a data viz belongs to a particular machine (based on ip) .

I used "controls" visualization and pulled the data from the machine as required , but I wanted to know if this could be done via url manipulation as well ?

Hi @Shreesh_Narayanan ,

You can do it via url. Here is an example:

- Apply filter on your dashboard (e.g. via Control viz)
- Click "Share" -\> "Snapshot"

The link you will get contains all query details to replicate your filter.

It will be a long url, but here I post a part related to filer:

```auto
query:(match_phrase:(manufacturer.keyword:Gnomehouse))

```
