Kibana: Drop down list to select (filter) field values
In many cases where you analyze data you want to select values for a number of fields in a simple way. As an example, the fields could be region, country and cities and you want to study e.g revenue for your company in different ways. In Kibana 3 (and I guess in coming versions of Kibana 4) it is possible to do this by using e.g. three tables (bar charts...) and then select e.g. the country you are interested in. A typical setup would be to have the tables above the graph you want to study. The problem with this is that the tables may take up a lot of (unnecessary space) so that the graph cannot be seen without scrolling.
Suggestion: Create a new visualization type that can be used to select a value from a drop down list. It could be used e.g. in the following way:
Region: Europe Country: Portugal City: All
< graphs follow here>
It would be could if the labels could be different from the name of the underlying field.

The new data table visualization in Kibana 4 supports scrolling in the panel itself so that you can decide how much space it should take up. We do plan to support input-style dashboard panels in the future.

+1 for input-style dashboard panels. (Especially now that you have angular-ui-select on board from https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/2162)

I created a really basic dropdown widget plugin for inline filtering but it would be great to see some built-in input panel types

Thanks Anna I'm going to check that out.
+1 This would be nice to have natively. Grafana does this, but I'd rather use one tool for log analysis/searching and graphing metrics.

+1 this would really help with ease of use and improve adoption for users you are not familiar with the data or how Kibana works.

+1 It would be really cool if the new input-style panel will support choosing multiple values in dropdown list. Something similar to this attached image:

This might not address it completely, but would https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/11375 cover the basic ask in this enhancement request?
