Any suggestions to manage dashboards from QA to Prod

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I want to do a better job managing Kibana.

I'm setting up all in one single server with Kibana and Elasticsearch for each environment. My goal is to have new searches, visualization and dashboards follow the sprint development cycle.

Version Controls, Import/Export? Am I crazy to attempt this?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rich

@ritchierich

that's a pretty broad question :wink:

you could snapshot the .kibana index of your ES instance: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html

That contains all your Kibana saved objects, advanced settings, ...

Thanks for responding. I know its broad question, but also thought it would be a common challenge.

I'll probably try both import/export object and snapshotting .kibana then figure out the pros/cons of each.

Cheers,
