Hi all,

I want to use SQL query just as KQL query in Query filter bar to build visualizations and dashboards.

But the Query does not work in filter bar even after installing SQL plugin.

Any ideas?

Currently SQL is only supported in [Canvas](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/canvas.html#create-elements) and custom vega visualizations.

We have some plans to bring text-based languages like SQL to more places in Kibana in the future.
