There are multiple indexes with one common field. The shared dashboard has several widgets from each index. It is necessary to compose a filter on the dashboard for finding a field so that all widgets work correctly. When building a filter on a dashboard, you only have the ability to choose one of several index patterns. It is impossible to combine them all? How i can solve this problem? ---

If IRC filters works on a single index, what about using a query? This should works across indices ---
