we have used kibana api to export dashboard right

```auto
curl -XGET http://localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=d25f3e20-041d-11e8-af22-05a1f7ea412f > dashboard_export.json

```

d25f3e20-041d-11e8-af22-05a1f7ea412f this is dashboard uid  
how can i list out all the uid's of dashboards present in my cluster?

You can go through all the objects in your `.kibana` index and see which ones have the type `dashboard`. There's no specific command to list all of them.  
If I had to do it I would do it like this:

1. create a `.kibana*` index pattern.
2. filter only the `dashboards` from it.
3. add the uid field to the table in discover, i tihnk it's called `_id` or something like that in 6.x.
4. generate a CSV report on it so i can have it exported in an easy to parse format.  
but this is for the case where you have way too many dashboards to do manually.
