Hi Experts,
I have one requirement , I want to import kibana 3 visualization or dashboard json into kibana 4. When I import kibana 3 JSON file into kibana 4 I got nothing . I checked kibana 3 json file is different from kibana 4. So any idea how I can achieve this as I do not want to create dashboard from the beginning.
Thanks
Vikas

There's no automated way of doing this. You will, I afraid, have to recreate your dashboards. See the thread below.

> Hi, We are currently using Kibana 3 in my company. We plan to migrate to Kibana4 to benefit new improvements when building dashboards. My question is : How to migrate my old Kibana 3 dashboards to Kibana 4 ? Vincent
