Hello,

I'd like to contribute some DNS visualizations for packetbeats. What's the best way to export those from Kibana in the preferred format that will match what's in [https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/packetbeat/\_meta/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/packetbeat/_meta/kibana)?

Exporting via the Kibana UI or doing a curl -XGET of the visualization all add more data than what's in the beats example visualizations. It looks like you just want the data from the \_source field. I can edit the output manually, but I figured there's a better way.

Once I have it formatted properly I'll issue a pull request for feedback.

Thanks,  
Jeff

Have you had a look at the new Beats Developer Guide? [This one shows](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/export-dashboards.html) how to use some scripts in the beats repository to export dashboards.
