Hi,
I use Kibana version 4. So when i try to create new Dashboard, I have this message at the end :
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Missing kbn-version header"}
Do you how can i put also the kbn-version header , please.
Thanks,

I've not seen that myself. Which version of Kibana 4 are you using... 4.1? 4.4? What exact steps do you take when this error appears? Could you attach a screenshot?

Sorry... I use Kibana 4.3.1 !! Creation directly in the Application are good, but I talk about CURL creation method.

I'm not sure there is a REST endpoint within the Kibana server itself for dashboard creation. However, it should be possible to add this object to the .kibana index by writing directly to Elasticsearch.

You shouldn't be accessing the /elasticsearch endpoint in kibana. You can write directly to Elasticsearch itself.
Also, even with the kbn-version header, that URL would not accept a POST to write a dashboard, you need to write directly to the .kibana index.

It works if you add the Kibana version as a header in curl:
> -H "kbn-version: 4.4.1"

Hi,
Now i use directly this curl api to input in ElasticSearch (9200 and not Kibana=\>5601) , much easier and usual.
But it's right that this method is better too.
So thanks,
