Hi,

I have a Timelion which returns the top 10 ids for a given criteria. I'd like to use this on a dashbard, such that those 10 ids will be subsequently be used as a filter for other visualisations on the dashboard. Is there any way to do this in Kibana?

You can save it as a panel in the Timelion app and the use it on the dashboard. Then on clicking on the legend it should apply a global filter on the dashboard.
