[Feature Request] Add link on row table to external application

[dadoonet]

Hey Rashid,

I think that some users could find useful to link from results displayed in table to another external application.
So, I think you could add 2 more options to table panel:

• String field: External url: http://myownserver.com/myapp/getFromId.php?myid={_id}&param={obj.field} (we can replace placeholders with values contained in documents)
• Checkbox: Open in a new window. If checked (default), when user click on it, it will open a new window.

What do you think?
I will be happy to contribute (with your help :-) )

It would be nice to have this functionality as well. I would prefer to not litter our logs with urls and rather tell Kibana about interesting fields that could allow the user to go directly to another site with a single click.

+1 this is something we're looking for as well, both for linking to other Kibana dashboards as well as external resources.

I have this workflow in mind -
From Kibana dashboard, I want to open a pop up, that allows me to see the matched filters (similar to micro analysis panel). Select a group of elements to auto populate a new page or extend (further drop down on) this panel. The pop up should give an option to execute a background script to get some information from a external source (probably REST query to an external database). The result output will be shown in that external page or in the extended portion of the panel. The external script will return exact information, i am looking for for brevity purposes.
Summary Objective - From log events, I want to fetch information from a content database to do a historical analysis on what may have happened that causes this log event to generated.
Note - splunk allows this by way of external apps, How can this be doable here?
Appreciate your help.

Once we get scripted fields(#1537) and field formatting(#1543) this will be possible. Please track those tickets for updates. Thanks!

Hi, is it now possible to add a link on a row or column via scripted fields or something else? I can't find an example...

[Bargs]

Yep, should be https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.4/managing-fields.html#_string_field_formatters

Can any one point to example where I can open an info window on click of visualizations- Grid Data/ Charts/Map points? The info window should be another visualization, and I should be able to pass data when user clicks.
