(Im v new to Kibana)

Coming from a datadog background and trying to recreate some useful dashboards. Most notably I want to show information about all my kafka brokers on the same page. Im looking for a way to tie a specific visualization to a single hostname so I can put several on the same page each measuring the same value from different hosts.

I don't want to change the visualization itself - just the specific instance on the dashboard.

In DD I can add the same chart a few times and it's pretty easy to pin each chart to a host.

Unfortunately this isn't currently possible. You can track the feature request here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5647](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5647)
