Hello guys,  
I would like to export all my dashboards, transformations and new indexes from a Kibana instance to another one. I have found that with saved objects -\> export, I can export all dashboards and related objects but it does not export the transformations I have created. So new indexes will be empty because transfo are missing after the import.  
I could not find a solution to export everything.. I probably missed something.  
Thanks for your help,

Anthony

[Transforms](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transforms.html) are not Saved Objects but Elasticsearch entities like aliases, ingest pipelines, etc.

You'd need to take a look to the [Transforms API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-transform.html) to see how to automate to export the definitions and migrate them to your second cluster.

Hope it helps!
