We are running several elasticsearch/kibana clusters, with some modifications to the "advanced settings" in kibana

Is there a way that we can automatically sync/propagate settings from one instance to another, to avoid having to manually set all the settings?

From what I can tell these settings are not defined in the `.kibana` index

The advanced settings are in fact a [Saved Object](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html), so you should be able to export and import them from the Kibana UI, maybe even from the [Saved Objects API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api.html)

I never tried any of this, please test this in a controlled environment.
