Kibana multiple dashboards support

Question

I am using logstash to analyze multiple types of logs that have different structures. "prodlog" and "access_log" in the below.

Following is my logstash configuration:

    input {
      file {
    type => "prodlog"

    # Wildcards work, here :)
    path => [ "/root/isaac/my_logs/*log*"]

    start_position => "beginning"
  }

  file {
    type => "access_log"

    # Wildcards work, here :)
    path => [ "/root/isaac/my_logs/access_logs/gw_access_log*"]

    start_position => "beginning"
  }


}

filter {

 if [type] == "prodlog" {
  grok {
    type => "prodlog"
    patterns_dir => "/root/isaac/logstash/patterns"
    pattern  => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:log_timestamp} %{LOGLEVEL:log_level}%{SPACE} \[%{JAVACLASS:class}\] %{DATA:thread} - .*"
  }
 }
 if [type] == "access_log" {
  grok {
    type => "access_log"
    patterns_dir => "/root/isaac/logstash/patterns"
    pattern  => "\[%{DATA:my_timestamp}\] %{IP:client} %{WORD:method} %{URIPATHPARAM:request} \[%{DATA:auth_data}\] \[%{DATA:another_timstamp}\] %{NUMBER:result_code} %{NUMBER:duration} %{NUMBER:bytes}"
  }
 }
}

output {
  stdout { debug => true }
  elasticsearch { embedded => true }
}

Is it possible from the Kibana GUI that comes built-in with elasticsearch to create multiple dashboards instead of having the whole data mixed in the same dashboard?

Ideally each dashboard would be accessed with its own URL from the kibana home page.

Thx in advance.

If you want to create a new dashboard, save the one that you are using with a different name. After that, if you click over the folder icon, you should see two dashboards, the one that you have before and the other that you have just saved.

I think it is like that to create new dashboards, but I can not access now to a Kibana to test.
