Export/import dashboard

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I am trying to move a dashboard from the default space to another. following this blog (https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-migrate-to-kibana-spaces)

[root@vm21:/etc/kibana ] $ curl -k -u elastic:somepassword https://vm21:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/0ced9280-e937-11e9-8780-d10befb3ed2b > export.json

it created the a file export.json

I then tried to import:
curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" -u elastic:somepasswprd https://vm21:5601/s/testspace1/app/kibana/import --data-binary @export.json

got a response:
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}

i also tried this:
curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" -u elastic:somepassword https://vm21:5601/s/testspace1/api/kibana/dashboards/import --data-binary @export.json

got a response:
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Invalid request payload JSON format"}[root@vm21:/etc/kibana ] $

I'd appreciate any help/tips.

thanks,
sirjune

how did you received the dashboard id number?

I have done this via API many time over with different combination. never done it via command line

I think perhaps you are calling the export API incorrectly

Looks like you are missing the export part of the path?

Also looks like you have dashboard singular instead of dashboards

The API may have changed slight over versions

curl -X GET "localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=942dcef0-b2cd-11e8-ad8e-85441f0c2e5c" -H 'kbn-xsrf: true'

@elasticforme: i followed the blog i mentioned in the original post

@stephenb: you're correct. i missed some in the command line. tired eyes yesterday.
these allowed me to export/import the dashboard to another space.

when i login as testuser (who i gave access to testspace1). It loads the dashboard but a box pops out (lower right corner) with "Unable to update UI setting. Request failed with status code: 403"

nice it works for me. I just created bash script which can do that backup. sorry for hijacking thread
