Hi there,

I have been trying to download dashboards as pdf. Opted for PhantomJS and wkhtmltopdf but getting blank page when trying to convert dashboard's iframe to html and then to pdf in kibana. However, these libraries work fine with other html pages and web pages.

Please suggest what could be a good approach to implement this feature and why I am getting blank page only for kibana and not other sites.

Using version 7.2.0.

Thanks

The inbuilt Kibana reporting capability can only generate reports of the dashboards as you see them in Kibana. It basically opens a headless Chromium/Phantom inside the Node instance with the Kibana dashboard loaded and then creates the PDF from that page.
