Allow setting of host/refreshInterval using url parameters. #7
Conversation
Support specifying host/refreshInterval via url arguments. Example: http://localhost:8000/_site/#/myindex/?host=my-es-host.com:9200&refreshInterval=500

Does this cover a use-case that the "change host" button doesn't? Or is it just a convenience flag so you don't have to change the host each time (e.g. just bookmark the URI)? (NP about the whitespace, happy those are gone anyhow :) ) |

It's primarily a convenience if you don't host the plugin with elasticsearch but still want to be able to link directly to an immediately working set of charts, without requiring people to input anything (both cases are true for me!). Where I work we have a url shortening service, so it's convenient to be able to put these settings in a url and have it just work. I use bigdesk in a similar way so to some extent was just mimicking what they provided. |

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, thanks for the explanation! Merging right now |

Thanks Zachary! Great tool, now I can share the fun! |
Useful if you're not hosting the plugin with your cluster.
The commit looks larger than it is simply because of some excess whitespace that was in the file - let me know if this is a problem!
