Hi everyone, I work with o365 logs, and I want to make exceptions on some users, some countries etc... For example, on a dashboard, I focus on login from countries except mine, to see suspicious logs. But, if I know a user lives in India, I want to make an exception on this user with India forever. Is there a way to make exceptions on kibana that are easier to manage that this way : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/a/ea5e4e1385dfc9a532ef3d9587c266234c65c617.png) The problem with this filter option is that if I have multiple dashboards and a lot of filters, it's not possible to manage correctly. The option to pin a filter on all dashboards makes my filters disappear, so I can't use it. Thank you for your help ! ---

Hey @Joseph_Predignac! Welcome to our community! The pin filter is the best option here. What do you mean with the: > The option to pin a filter on all dashboards makes my filters disappear, so I can't use it. Another thing you could do is use the reindex api [Reindex API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#docs-reindex-select-query) and create a new index with the documents you want. This means that you have to update your visualizations to use the new index though so I know that this is not the best solution. ---

Hi, Thank you for your quick answer. I'm going to check the API to see if it can help me. About the pin filter, I encounter a bug when I use it. If I go on another computer to see the dashboard with the pinned filters, it makes all the filters disappear. Maybe an information that will help : if I create an exclusion filter like this one : ![pin filter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/6/36ae562554b1534f2d319fa8e3138354b237212b.png) If the filter is not pinned, I can save my dashboard to keep the filter on this dashboard. But if I pin it, I can't save anymore. I think that it's because it's not saved on only this dashboard, but maybe that's not normal. I've seen on internet that if you perform a hard refresh on your browser, the pinned filter disappear, and that's a problem for my use of the filters. I want to keep them during months. ---
