Hey @azasypkin  
I was successfully able to export all the dashboards, index and Visualization's in a JSON format but i am unable to import the same thing in the kibana. It shows me a " **Saved Objects : Saved objects file format is invalid and cannot be imported**" error. Any idea about this issue? Thanks for your time.
