@jujis008, could you share the Kibana URL that is being loaded? this error means that state in _a or _g query params is not properly serialised.

Error handling will be improved in next major version, so Kibana would still load in case when state in query params is corrupted.
will be fixed by: #74264

@Dosant Exactly as you analyzed, here I found why this error happens, you can see the query below query:Transaction%20Controller666, the parameters contains a blank space which encoded by URL automatically, so that lead to not properly serialized. if I replace space to _ is working good...

I cannot share the URL, but I could share the parameters in URL as following,
https://URL/app/kibana#/dashboard/ad4f6b50-d54e-11ea-8573-8f048ce7c8ba?embed=true&_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:10000),time:(from:'2020-08-26T08:28:48.000Z',to:'2020-08-26T08:29:57.000Z'))&_a=(description:'',filters:!(('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:'1d15aa40-d53a-11ea-8231-6bf29f5714ab',key:jk_exec_id,negate:!f,params:(query:'20200826_072805->Dev_Jmeter_Zabbix_VM_DebugLTA%23103->dryRun'),type:phrase),query:(match_phrase:(jk_exec_id:'20200826_072805->Dev_Jmeter_Zabbix_VM_DebugLTA%23103->dryRun'))),('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:'1d15aa40-d53a-11ea-8231-6bf29f5714ab',key:trans_name,negate:!f,params:(query:Transaction%20Controller666),type:phrase),query:(match_phrase:(**trans_name:Transaction%20Controller666**)))),fullScreenMode:!f,options:(hidePanelTitles:!f,useMargins:!t),query:(language:kuery,query:''),timeRestore:!f,title:Board_RT_Samples,viewMode:view)

@jujis008, I think if there is a special symbol, it has to be wrapped with ', e.g.: query:'Transaction%20Controller666'

[jujis008]

@Dosant Yeah, wrapping with ' works fine. Thanks.

Closing, as error handling is improved in: #74264

I'm still seeing this error on elastic cloud instances. We are sending two separate clusters metrics to this elastic search cluster. One of the clusters monitoring works fine and other one errors and redirects to this other working cluster.

Here is the url: https://clusterID.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/app/monitoring#/overview?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now),cluster_uuid:XXXXXXXXX)

Edit: We just upgraded to 7.10 version.

[Dosant]

Hi @mantrala,
Sorry about that,

This is going to be fixed in 7.10.1 by #83987

as a workaround for 7.10.0, wrap cluster_uuid value in ' to navigate to that cluster:

https://clusterID.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/app/monitoring#/overview?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now),cluster_uuid:XXXXXXXXX) -> https://clusterID.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/app/monitoring#/overview?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:10000),time:(from:now-1h,to:now),cluster_uuid:'XXXXXXXXX')

Thanks @Dosant that worked.
