[Controls] Filter a subset of dashboard panels

[alexfrancoeur]

Some users would like to be able to filter a specific visualization inside the dashboard, instead of filtering the entire dashboard using input controls

+1, I would suggest possibly expanding this to all dashboard filters, not just those applied with the input control.

I don't know how much sense this would make for actual implementation, but in my mind I see using some sort of tagging as a potential solution to link a filter to a visual.

Example:

• Filter0-
  -- tags [ ] (empty, applies to all)
• Filter1-
  -- tags: ["Group1"]
• Filter2-
  -- tags: ["Group1", "Group2"]

---

• Visual0-
  --tags: [ ]
  --filters applied- Filter0
• Visual1-
  --tags: ["Group1"]
  --filters applied- Filter0, Filter1
• Visual2-
  --tags["Group2"]
  --filters applied- Filter0, Filter1, Filter2

Note that the courier:ignoreFilterIfFieldNotInIndex setting should at least limit filters to only apply to panels that are associated with an index pattern with a matching field.

[Shifter2600]

The Controls Visualization is Locked to the default Index and those fields. Click the + Add filter and you will see that the Field drop down only shows Fields from the Default index pattern. Even when courier:ignoreFilterIfFieldNotInIndex is enabled. This prevents the ability to add filters that reduce the options avaialble that are using a different Index Pattern.
