I couldn't find solution when searching through existing questions in the forums. So, posting it here.  
I have seen a manual way of going to kibana and getting a iframe url for some of the dashboards. Is there any way, we can get the url in a automated way once kibana is spin up?  
Any help on the approach is appreciated.

Thanks.

hi @eyesmoker1,

There's no documented way, but consider querying Elasticsearch directly.

Query the `.kibana` index pattern for any stored dashboards, and reverse-engineer the `<iframe>` urls from the ids.

e.g.:  
`GET localhost:9200/.kibana/_search?q=type:dashboard`
