Dear Team, I am trying to export dashboards and visualizations to move on a new setup, from Kibana console. But, while importing the Json file, i am getting below erro: "Saved Objects: The file could not be processed." Can you suggest what could be the error cause? is there any way to move Kibana objects? \*It's Kibana 4.5.1 \*i read about elasticdump but hoping there should be in built utilities. Thanks & Regards ---

Hi there, this is kind of a wild guess, but when you exported your Dashboard did you remember to export the associated Visualizations and Searches? See this related question: [How to save dashboard as json file](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-save-dashboard-as-json-file/24561/14) Thanks, CJ ---

I refereed this post and was trying to import the Json file and ended with that error. I exported Dashboards + Visualization, also tried exporting all objects. In both cases, while importing it throws error saying "Saved Objects: The file could not be processed." ---

Would you mind sharing the file you're trying to import? We can take a look and see if there are any formatting errors or anything like that. ---

Are you trying to move dashboards from Kibana 4.5.1 to another instance running the same version or are you trying to migrate to Kibana 4.5.1 from an older version? ---

Hi Team, The problem is solved, thanks for your attention and assistance. I was downloading those Json files from a remote location and due to permission error, that input file used to overwritten by error messages. And for Kibana it was a corrupted file, so wasn't able to import. I realized that while send files to Mr. cjcenizal. Apologies for inconvenience caused, wasn't expecting permission error on those files. Thanks & Regards ---
