How can I export/import Dashboards, Searches and Visualizations from my own Kibana?

If you are already using Kibana, you can import your pre-built Dashboards, Searches and Visualizations into Logz.io.

1. Go to Kibana
2. Click on Management
3. Click on Saved Objects
4. Once inside of "Edit Saved Objects" you can:
   1. Click on Export Everything
   2. Or select each Dashboards, Searches and Visualizations you need and click on Export

This will export a JSON file with all your dashboards, saved searches and visualizations. We recommend the full export because you will be sure that you have all your objects, if you were to export a single object, then it may not work if it is dependent on other objects.

1. Go to Kibana
2. Click on Management
3. Click on Saved Objects
4. Click on the Import button
5. Browse the exported file
6. You will then be prompted: "If any of the objects already exist, do you want to automatically overwrite them?" and you will be given the following options:
   1. No, prompt me for each one
   2. Yes, overwrite all

NOTE: If any visualization or dashboard did not import, the issue is most likely a field that is referenced in the visualization but not indexed within Logz.io. Please make sure that you are shipping the correct logs and that the Kibana mapping is refreshed.
