Is it feasible to run queries created by Kibana using Java API? I mean get a ready queries from Kibana dashboards that are created by users dynamically, and pass like a parameter in Java ?

this is an example of a query coming from Kibana dashboards :

{  
"size": 0,  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"analyze\_wildcard": true,  
"query": "\*"  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"range": {  
"@timestamp": {  
"gte": 1274879129857,  
"lte": 1432645529858  
}  
}  
}  
],  
"must\_not": []  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"aggs": {  
"3": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "ruleid",  
"size": 20,  
"order": {  
"\_count": "desc"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}r

Sure is. The KB queries are the same as any other that are passed to to ES.

Check the example in the link above.

It is building up a query using a fluent style API. You will see the query built by QueryBuilders and filter built by FilterBuilders also using a fluent style api.

The other option of course is to use a java http client with the JSON you got from Kibana. Of course, then you have to parse the response yourself so I wouldn't suggest this necessarily over the first option.
