Hi all,

I have a dashboard where I have multiple visualizations. When I select a filter, it ends up being applied to all the visualizations on the dashboard. I want the filter to be applied to only certain visualizations, i.e., I want some visualizations to be static and not change with the application of different filters. Is there any way to do this?

I'm using Elasticsearch 5.2.0, Kibana 5.2.0 on Windows 7.

Thanks in advance

There's no way to do this, anything that is applied is dashboard wide.

@warkolm Thanks for the quick response.

Is there any workaround that you may know of, which would help me do this?
