Feature - Select queries that are disabled

[elhu]

Currently, when a query is disabled, it doesn't show up in any panel on the dashboard.
It would be nice to have way to explicitly select a query to display, whether it is disabled or not.
This would provide an easy way to have a query scoped to a single panel, without having it "polluting" the rest of the dashboard (for example, having a panel graphing slow queries over time, without having slow queries in every single panel on the dashboard).

I propose adding a 4th item to the querySelect partial, called for example 'selected - allow disabled'.
If this mode is chosen, then the selected queries will show up even disabled.

I have a Kibana fork running with these modifications, and can provide a pull request if it can be integrated in a future release :).

Just to understand it correct: Would't it possible to select the particular query only in one Panel to achieve the same?
Is this feature "just" for convenience?

[elhu]

It could be achieved by selecting a specific query. However, the problem with that is that adding a new query adds it to every single panel in the dashboard that doesn't have a query filter set.

This way, instead of whitelisting every query for every panel, we can leave the default behaviour and simply add a new query, disable it to prevent it from showing up everywhere unannounced, and whitelist it only in the panel(s) where it belongs.

We've redesigned the way queries work in Kibana 4. Each individual panel can have its own, entirely disconnected, set of queries.
