Hi again Tom,
Yesterday I tried to combine different visualizations in Kibana to fetch the data easily. I think it can be cool for your team:

First, you should create a new dashboard to contain the three visualizations (IP dropdown list, the alerts list, and the Syslog alerts chart).
Now you should create each of the three visualizations:
1. IP Dropdown menu visualization


2. Discover visualization: This visualization lets you view the alerts while you are applying the location filters with the IP dropdown selector. You should create this visualization from the discover tab.

After the creation of this 3 visualizations, you can create a dashboard like the one I showed above by adding the 3 visualizations together:

Let me know if it helps.
Best regards, JP Sáez
