Questions related to URL creation, time range and filters (by combobox)

[mathric (Mathias)]

Hi there,

since we are trying to use standardized dashboards, we are facing some issues:

1. the users like to have predefined filters and time range (depending per user / per PC)

• this can be done by applying the filter and saving the dashboard

2. we still like to update the original dashboard and influence all users

• if we use the SNAPSHOT option for sharing the original dashboard is not referenced

I experimented a bit, but it didn't workout. Here is the last iteration of my tests:

https://MYSERVER/kibana#/dashboard/DASHBOARDID?_g=(filters%3A!()%2CrefreshInterval%3A(pause%3A!t%2Cvalue%3A0)%2Ctime%3A(from%3Anow-24h%2Cto%3Anow))

MYSERVER is the server, we are hosting Elastic
DASHBOARDID is the UUID of the dashboard (f.e. 6a637f10-f719-11ea-850c-3341f6aa75a2)
TIMEFILTER: last 24h without autorefresh:_g=(filters%3A!()%2CrefreshInterval%3A(pause%3A!t%2Cvalue%3A0)%2Ctime%3A(from%3Anow-24h%2Cto%3Anow))

I tried the following...but it didn't work

https://MYSERVER/kibana#/dashboard/DASHBOARDID?_g=(refreshInterval:(display:Off,pause:!f,value:0),time:(from:now-1y,mode:quick,to:now))&_a=(filters:!(),query:(querystring:(query: "Location.Station:1020")))

It seems only the time parameter is working.

I wonder, whats the mistake...

Big thx for helping.

Cheers

basicly the ultimate URL would be something like this:

[Ziel](https://MYSERVER/kibana#/dashboard/DASHBOARDID?(time=last 30days&Location.Station=1020&Location.Line=1))

Just to show, what we try to produce.

@mathric

this can be done by applying the filter and saving the dashboard

The easiest way to achieve the goal would be to have the users choose the "Save as new Dashboard" option in the Save panel.
