Hello,
I have been trying to move one dashboard to another location to Kibana. For this, I have to find and move the underlying views to migrate. Is there any way that we can populate at least the associated objects for a dashboard objects (instead of a normal search query for string ) in saved objects.
can you suggest a workaround?
Thanks!
Mahesh

If you want to copy your entire `.kibana` index from one cluster to another, or make a copy of it with a different name, you could use the snapshot and restore feature in Elasticsearch. You'd be able to create a backup and restore it to another cluster, or in the same cluster with a different name using a `rename_pattern`. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html)
