A lot of you have been asking for a feature allowing you to embed a Dashboard URL containing the value of the Guided Mode Parameter in your external systems.
This is now possible, read on!

Dashboards always come with this URL format: https://portal.kentik./v4/library/dashboards/
Let's say your Guided Mode dashboard pivots around a Destination Interface Provider dimension.

In this example, you can access this dashboard with the parameter pre-filled with the value my_provider using this URL:
https://portal.kentik./v4/library/dashboards//guided?provider=my_provider

Finding the parameter name to use in the URL after the guided?= portion may be a little tricky: parameters in Guided Mode do not 1:1 correspond to the SRC|DST|SRC_or_DST dimensions you are used to in Data Explorer, because Guided Mode considers families of Dimensions, and discard the directionality. Here are a few examples:

• Using SRC, DST (or both) ASN as a parameter will result in using as_number as a parameter name
• Using SRC, DST (or both) AS_PATH as a parameter will result in using bgp_aspath as a parameter name
• Using SRC, DST (or both) Provider as a parameter will result in using provider as a parameter name
