the visualization towards the lower left there that gives you the download links doesn't work in Kibana, because it's using this plugin for opensearch dashboards.

We need to see what, if anything, we can do about this. Some possible options:

  1. figure out a way to do the thing with URL templates (if url templates are handled the same way by both kibana and osd, that's probably the way to go)
  2. document the need to install the upstream of that plugin, which was originally for Kibana, as a requirement if they want this to work
  3. dynamically excise the visualization from the dashboard on startup if kibana ?
  4. figure out some other way to implement the visualization in kibana that's not supported by OSD and keep two versions of the dashboard and pick the right one on import (yuck)

Additionally , the other URL field formatters in Kibana (they turn field values into links that go to arkime, netbox, etc.) are broken and need fixed. To use these though will require the specifying of a MALCOLM_URL environment variable in dashboards-helper.env which is used as the base URL for the links kibana will create.
