Kibana manages saved objects through a proxy to elasticsearch, so the API would be elasticsearches API. Visualizations, dashboards, and searches are typed in the .kibana index, /.kibana/visualization, /.kibana/dashboard, /.kibana/search. You can also manage these from the Kibana UI by going to the saved objects page: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/0/00cf5ccb0f2787c9e16d559a65b142a9c83677d1.png) On a fresh install Kibana will not have any visualizations, searches, and dashboards. Is there some other process adding them? ---
