Getting Error in Importing json file in Kibana4

Elastic Stack Kibana

When I am importing the json file containing dashboard and the visualization to Kibana 4 I am getting following error:

Saved Objects: Cannot read property 'byName' of undefined

But importing the same json file for second time works fine and I am able to see my dashboard. Kindly suggests few points.

Are you able to share the json file?

Json file can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8uoBxPXS5sYYXR5Sk9sMFJEZ1k/view?usp=sharing

Sorry, should have asked this before, what version of Kibana did the export come from, and what version are you importing to?

I am creating the json programmatically by editing the json exported from kibana 4 and importing to the same version.

A couple more follow up questions:

The error you're getting appears to come from some code that's trying to access the fields of your index pattern.

  • Have you recreated the index pattern(s) these visualizations and dashboards depend on prior to importing?
  • If so, does the index pattern show all the fields these objects require?
  • Also, what version specifically are you on? In the form of 4.x.x

I am having Kibana 4.4.2.
