Below is the syntax for the addDashboardFilter() mutation field:

graphql
addDashboardFilter(
     name: string!, 
     prefixFilter: string!, 
     id: string!, 
     searchDomainName: string!
   ): Dashboard!

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

mutation {
  addDashboardFilter(
      name: "filtration",
      id: "ILLF8JldGGP6tVspPuRtifX7ZGiHveGV", 
      searchDomainName: "humio",
      prefixFilter: "server1_")
  {id, name, widgets { id, title } }
}
