Hello there!

When I use Kibana discover with an index it generates something like this by default:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/9/b902c9155458d0bc15bb6d1a575e82e9cc12c389.png)

It is not useful for me to visualize this in that way. So I configure the shown fields to have this:

I would like to "save" this configuration to use it easily without needing to write again all these "interesting" fields each time I enter the discover mode. Of course, I could for a certain search, modify these fields but I want them to be used by default.

Is that possible?

Something similar to the saved queries option?

Welcome to our community! 😃

Click the other Save above that and it will be a Saved search 🙂

OMG warkolm, I don't know hod did I miss that!

Thank you very much.

One last question, Is there any possibility to save this query as a visualization to add it to a dashboard? Maybe as a table visualization?

Best regards.

Yep, when you go to a dashboard you can add saved searches as well 🙂
