Is it possible to create Kibana dashboard using rest api ?
hi @Joeltstephen,
that's a doozy of a question 
!
Could you explain a little more what you are looking for? Do you mean you would like a programmable API from Kibana that allows you to create a dashboard?
I want to create a Kibana dashboard through backend. Is there any API to do this operation ?
i am looking for something that can be do with curl command.
//regards

Hi @Joeltstephen,
there's no publically exposed API for this, but there is an open PREQ for this: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4759.
All dashboards are stored as saved-objects (basically a JSON-object that described which visualizations are included, plus some other settings).
Kibana internally uses a REST-API to manage saved-objects (so you can use curl to make requests). You can find more details about that here: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4759. This is an internal implementation detail though, so this is subject to change at any time.
