I am getting error while trying to create Kibana visualization using following curl:  
**Error is:**"Invalid request payload JSON format"

curl -X POST "[http://localhost:5601/api/saved-objects/visualization/my-visualization](http://localhost:5601/api/saved-objects/visualization/my-visualization)" -H 'kbn-xsrf' -H 'Content-Type : application/json' -d visualization.json

**visualization.json is :**  
{  
"attributes": {  
"title": "Event\_Name\_Source",  
"visState": "{"title":"Event\_Name\_Source","type": "pie", "params": { "type": "pie", "addTooltip": true, "addLegend": true, "legendPosition": "right","isDonut": true,"labels": {"show": false,"values": true,"last\_level": true,"truncate": 100}},"aggs": [{ "id": "1", "enabled": true, "type": "count", "schema": "metric", "params": {}}, { "id": "2", "enabled": true,"type": "terms","schema": "segment","params": {"field": "eventName","otherBucket": false,"otherBucketLabel": "Other","missingBucket": false,"missingBucketLabel": "Missing","size": 5,"order": "desc","orderBy": "1","customLabel": "Event Name"}},{"id": "3","enabled": true,"type": "terms","schema": "segment","params": {"field": "eventSource","otherBucket": false,"otherBucketLabel": "Other","missingBucket": false,"missingBucketLabel": "Missing","size": 5,"order": "desc","orderBy": "1","customLabel": "Event Source"}}]}",  
"uiStateJSON": "{}",  
"description": "",  
"version": 1,  
"kibanaSavedObjectMeta": {  
"searchSourceJSON": "{"index": "cloudtraillogs","filter": [],"query": {"query": "","language": "lucene"}}"  
}  
}

Please help with what is wrong in the above json. Is this format correct for elasticsearch version 6.1.2
