Supporting templates and scripts for dashboards in Kibana 4+

[biswajit86]

Kibana used to support scripted and templated dashboards till Kibana 3 versions , either through json or js files . After the release of Kibana 4 , there is no support for either templated or scripted or parameterized dashboards

Till Kibana3, we could create a parameterized template for a dashboard and call it with different parameters to render a dynamic dashboard. Apart from the usual benefits that come from templates, the functionality really helps in hiding technical details from a non-technical end user . This lack of functionality is a serious hindrance in our efforts to replace our legacy flex dashboards with the ELK Stack

Can this please be added in the upcmoning releases of Kibana 4+?

Rather than require configuration of specific template variables using scripted templates, kibana now stores the entire configuration of the page in the url, and therefore every dashboard is templatized.

Closing as a duplicate of #2502

I have many indices(actually aliases) named weblog-2015.08.11-www.corp.com weblog-2015.08.11-abc.corp.com and so on.

I hope to make ONLY ONE dashboard, and pass the domain via url like /#dashboard/weblog?domain=www.corp.com.

I hacked components/courier/saved_object/saved_object.js , add below code in docSource.fetch() function.

resp = JSON.parse(_.template(JSON.stringify(resp))($route.current.params));

I saved one search object using "<%= domain %>", and make visualizations with this search object , and put the visualizations to a dashboard, now I could use #/dashboard/weblog?domain=www.corp.com to show certain domain information.

I am new with angular and the hack seems ugly , hope the feature could be added in future version of k4.

We hope so too @childe :) For now it's slotted a few versions out #4489

Is there any documentation on it for URI templatization???

Is scripting not yet available to create dynamic dashboards in Kibana 5.x?
