I m using Kibana 4.1.1, i used to run it manually `./bin/kibana` Now I want to deploy it in production in a VPS running ubuntu 14.04. - How can I send my dashboards to the VPS instance and do not recreate them? - How can I run Kibana as a background deamon? Notice: I know that recent Kibana versions comes with .deb packages but I m using Kibana 4.1.1 cause I m using ES 1.7 and I can't change my ES version for the moment. ---

Hi, > How can I send my dashboards to the VPS instance and do not recreate them? In the Kibana instance where you have already created your dashboards, go to _Settings \> Objects_, then click the Export button at the top. This will result in a JSON file being saved to your computer. Then go to the Kibana instance in production, _Settings \> Objects_, and click the Import button at the top to import the file you saved earlier. > How can I run Kibana as a background deamon? Yeah, unfortunately since there are no system packages for Kibana 4.1.1, you'll have to use something like [daemontools](https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html), or [daemonize](http://software.clapper.org/daemonize/) or [upstart](http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/) to daemonize Kibana yourself. ---
