I have an error when I tried exporting a Visualize in another ES. The VisState type is invalid. May I know if I missed something? Where should this VisState type be defined?

Both (source and destination) have the same version.

Hey there, what version are you using? This is very strange- the error tells you that the type you try to import is "chix-alert", but this is not a type native for Kibana. Maybe you have some custom plugin installed in the source version, but not on the version you import to?
