Hello,

I tried both solutions proposed in the community forum:  
1- "Adding `![kql|410x161](upload://A1ggJ3BBz6XtO6BbN1Fpt2tVP6p.jpeg)` to the URL should remove the filter options."

2- You could add `&embed=true` a the end of your dashboard's URL. It will lock it in fullscreen, hiding KQL Search, Calendar control & sidebar.

but none of them are working for me.

ES v8.43  
I'm using reverse proxy in front of ES.

How I can achieve my goal?

Thanks!

Hello,  
did you try to use both at the same time?  
Adding `&embed=true&hide-filter-bar=true` to the Kibana url? Are you sure your reverse proxy passes correctly the parameters to the Kibana address?

Hello @Marta_Bondyra  
thanks for your reply.

I tried the URL parameters you suggested.  
With them, the "+" icon for filters is hide from GUI, but KQL bar still there.  
In the attached screenshots the output with and without those parameters...  
Is there anything else I coudl try?

kibana with additiona url parameters:

 ![kibana-with-additional-url-parameters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/8/d84dfb4c42e32ed00b03fa29cfe6ba6cca2a69ac.jpeg)

kibana without additiona url parameters:

 ![kibana-WITHOUT-additional-url-parameters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/5/356f78fea1770ea5a2887432cfcd9c8fe13907d8.jpeg)

I need to ask colleagues in order to check reverse proxy....  
Thanks a lot for your help,  
Karl
