Hi,

We want to call kibana dashboards from our java application. But there are certain filters that we need to pass to kibana dashboard from java application. Is this possible to pass java filters to kibana dashbnoard/reports?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the filters in the dashboard (query, time range, etc) are all URL parameters, which means you can just change the URL of the dashboard(s) as needed. We may change those parameters in the future, so you'd have to be careful when upgrading.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.  
We have a java application where user login to application with their credentials. When user login to application we want to pass userid to kibana dashboard to filter data for that specific user. That user id is already populated in kibana indices.  
Thanks
