I have created a kibana dashboard for katalon reports for my API services. For that I have created a index pattern api_katalon_reports*. all the widgets inside that dashboard use this index pattern. Now, I have katalon reports for UI of my project. For that I use ui_katalon_reports* index pattern. Instead of creating new dashboard and widgets in order to view UI katalon report data, is there a way to apply ui_katalon_reports* index pattern to same dashboard which I used to view API katalon reports data? Note: UI and API reports have same fields.
Hi @DSMilestone,
I think I'd try to export your dashboard together with all your visualizations as saved objects: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html
Then in that export, I'd try to replace all occurrences of original index pattern id (id of api_katalon_reports*) with another index pattern id (id of ui_katalon_reports*).
After edits, I'd import that back to Kibana as a new objects.
In the end you should get 2 dashboards for different index patterns.
And 2x visualisations.
Some caveats I think of from top of my head:
- Kibana index pattern is also a saved object, so in your export, make sure you not changing original index pattern.
- Some visualizations (e.g. TSVB) don't use Kibana Index Patterns, instead they use elastic index strings directly e.g.
api_katalon_reports*, so also look for and replace such occurrences in your export.
I didn't test this approach, but I think it should work.
If you are going to try this out, first try it on environment where breaking existing widgets won't be a problem
