saved object tagging

[tmkujala]

Hi,

Currently dashboards saved to Elasticsearch are stored using a single grouping and displayed as a single list. The open dashboard drop down starts to get messy when you've got hundreds of users wanting to save hundreds of dashboards across many different log sources/organizational units, both to share with others or to keep to themselves.

My initial thought was to setup a separate kibana_index for each grouping, then customize that per dashboard using a query string argument. Unfortunately, kibana_index can only be set in config.js and is not customizable per dashboard, so this idea is out.

I think there should be two top-level categorizations:

• Public - anyone can see
• Private - only the current user can see

Within each overall category, dashboards should form a hierarchy or virtual folder structure allowing dashboards to be stored arbitrarily in the hierarchy, possibly to some maximum depth.

Perhaps private dashboards are just stored under a special private folder in the hierarchy.

It might look something like this:

Open Dashboard
> private
>> privdb1
>> privdb2
> group1
>> dashboard11
>> dashboard12
>> group11
>>> dashboard111
> group2
>> group21
>>> dashboard211
> dashboard1

Great idea. However, extend grouping to support traditional folder and subfolders; and, extend to searches and visualizations as well.
