I wanna migrate from Grafana to Elastic stack .
I found this repository and few articles.
Can I download the binary files directly obs-migrate?(for windows 11 x64)
Hi @Ts_P,
I would recommend cloning the repository first and following the quick start rather than just downloading the migrate script.
Hope that helps!
Hi @Ts_P
I ping the internal team that owns this ... lets see if they come back with something.
Its pretty new.
Hi @Ts_P ,
I'm part of the team working on the Observability Migration Platform. There is no packaged binary today; the tool is a Python CLI, not a standalone installer. Simpler distribution via PyPI/uvx is on our roadmap, but not available yet.
The supported path is cloning the repo and following the Quick Start.
We haven't validated Windows 11 x64 and we are still in technical preview. The CLI itself is plain Python with no deliberate OS-specific logic, so it may work on Windows, but we can't guarantee it yet.
We'll be happy to assist if you run into any complications, please reach out or open a GitHub issue ( Issues · elastic/observability-migration-platform · GitHub ) with your OS, Python version, and the output of obs-migrate doctor, and we'll provide guidance or use the feedback to improve the tool.
Thanks for your interest in the tool, don't hesitate to reach back out if you encounter anything along the way.
thanks a lot @miguel-sanchez I will test it and let you know
$ ./obs-migrate.exe doctor
obs-migrate doctor
pinned kb-dashboard tool version: 0.4.1
uv on PATH: no
kb-dashboard-cli: available (installed)
kb-dashboard-lint: available (installed)
is the "uv on PATH" missing critical ?
no you can run without uv using standard the python toolchain.
@tommyers-elastic I quickly tested the dashboard against dashboard json from Grafana .
It went well . I even ingested it manually in Kibana.
I saw in the logs these messages.
Is this expected because it is an early version of that tool or because I run it on windows 11.

thanks for the detail! some of this is expected (i.e. we don't currently support it) e.g. late binding variables. but some are potentially bugs e.g. [OpenTelemetry Collector] RPC client responses by GRPC status code (exporters): AST parse failed (unknown function with name 'label_metric'), using regex fragment parser
we'll look into it !
awesome thanks a lot.
I have tested with another sample dashboard json from grafana.
