Ability to select a ES Host per dashboard (or panel?)

[draco2003]

It would be great to have the ability to set the ES Host at a dashboard or panel level to override the global/default config.elasticsearch value. This would be especially useful in environments that have multiple ES clusters and avoid the need for running multiple instances of Kibana.

The best way to do this is to use the elasticsearch tribe node, Kibana can accept multiple index names as parameters. Also see #22

HI, I tried to connect to Kibana tribe node got error "Error Could not reach http://L0000261:9203//_aliases. If you are using a proxy, ensure it is configured correctly"
Is that means Kibana and elasticsearch 1.0.0 rc1 can not bind now?

BTW I'm using logstash dashboard. And it'f fine to view data in sample dashboard view.

If I understand correctly, tribe nodes don't allow index creation. Does that mean I'd have to create an (empty) index called kibana-int in (exactly) one of the clusters?

@ralphm yea, have the kibana-int index on one of the clusters, or have a small node running next to the tribe node just with it

@kimchy: Thanks a bunch!
