Hi ,  
Version - ELK 7.1.0  
Cluster - Single node ELK cluster installed in AWS VM  
Issue - deleted the elastic search index deleted kibana index and dashboard  
I have used below command to delete elastic search index

` curl -X DELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_all'`

after deleting the indexes all my kibana indexes and dashboards are gone .  
Is there any possibility atleast I can recover atleast Kibana dashboard ?

Appreciate the pointers !

Thanks,  
Divya

Hopefully you have the saved objects backed up!

Before you delete everything, you'd want to go to Management \> Kibana Saved Objects \> "Export _number_ objects"

Later, you can re-import the backed up saved objects from the same screen.

You could also use the Snapshot / Restore feature of Elasticsearch to back up entire indices, including the .kibana index.
