Hi This is still valid for this: > [@API to backup and restore settings from Infrastructure and Metric Explorer apps](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/api-to-backup-and-restore-settings-from-infrastructure-and-metric-explorer-apps/228024/2): > > Hello, We have the saved object api in Kibana: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api-get.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api-get.html) but it doesn't cover Infra UI objects for now. In the meantime you could do your own query to the .kibana index and get the document that has the type: infrastructure-ui-source which is where the settings reside. It's a hacky way of doing it, the format might change over time so I can't guarantee it will work forever. So there is no good official way to do this, but it could work with a custom query.
