Hi All, I am using an internal cloud application within my firm which is a container and can alter host and port at any time. Now I wanted to create a drill-down feature for my dashboard by setting the field type to Link and adding a URL. But, adding a constant URL is not possible for me. I want somehow Kibana to retrieve the current hosted URL and reference that. Any workarounds here? Thanx! ---

You should be able to just specify the path and hash part of the URL, e.g. `/app/kibana#/dashboard/12345` ---

If I do that, the path and hash part get displayed in the table as the label value[i am making a table visualization] I don't understand whats happening. ---

What version are you running? In 7.5 and below there is a bug with relative links like this, but it should be resolved starting from 7.6 > > > Kibana version: > Kibana 7.0.0 through Kibana 7.5.0 > Elasticsearch version: > Elasticsearch 7.0.0 through Elasticsearch 7.5.0 > Server OS version: > Ubuntu 16.04 > Browser version: > Chromium 73 > Browser OS version: > Ubuntu 16.04 > Original install method... ---

I am using 7.1. Any other workarounds without having to upgrade ? ---

Unfortunately upgrading is the only way to fix this at the Kibana level. Maybe you can set up a stable host alias or something similar in your internal cloud app so you can use a fully qualified URL instead? Changing host names for accessing Kibana seems like it's also annoying for users. ---
