Hi, I'm trying a curl method to import dashbaord to ES like this : curl -s -XPOST localhost:9200/.kibana/\_bulk --data @Dashboard55.json but not working: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Failed to derive xcontent"}],"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Failed to derive xcontent"} My json file seems me correct, so did you have an idea ? Thanks ---

Perhaps it would be easier for us to help if we had the JSON file you're trying to post. ---

Yes, Sorry [ { "\_id":"Dashboard55", "\_type": "dashboard", "\_source": { "title": "DashBoard\_Customer\_55", "hits": 0, "description": "", "panelsJSON": "[{"col":1,"id":"Visualization2","panelIndex":1,"row":1,"size\_x":3,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":4,"id":"Visualization1","panelIndex":2,"row":1,"size\_x":2,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":1,"id":"table1","panelIndex":3,"row":3,"size\_x":8,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":6,"id":"Customer\_id\_Visu","panelIndex":4,"row":1,"size\_x":3,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"}]", "optionsJSON": "{"darkTheme":false}", "uiStateJSON": "{"P-1":{"spy":{"mode":{"fill":false,"name":null}}},"P-2":{"spy":{"mode":{"fill":false,"name":null}}}}", "version": 1, "timeRestore": false, "kibanaSavedObjectMeta": { "searchSourceJSON": "{"filter":[{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"customer\_id:55","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}]}" } } } ] ---

That file doesn't conform to the spec of the [bulk API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html). Why use the bulk API to add a single document? ---

Ok, I used this just to see how it work because i tried few methods without success. So are there curl methods to put just one document ? Thanks ---

With this method i have an other issue : curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/.kibana/dashboard/Dashboard55](http://localhost:9200/.kibana/dashboard/Dashboard55)' -d @Dashboard55.json {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"failed to parse"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"failed to parse","caused\_by": **{"type":"not\_x\_content\_exception","reason":"Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"}},"status":400}** ---

Now It work, We must to delete a few first fields to have just this part: { "title": "DashBoard\_Customer\_55", "hits": 0, "description": "", "panelsJSON": "[{"col":1,"id":"Visualization2","panelIndex":1,"row":1,"size\_x":3,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":4,"id":"Visualization1","panelIndex":2,"row":1,"size\_x":2,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":1,"id":"table1","panelIndex":3,"row":3,"size\_x":8,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"},{"col":6,"id":"Customer\_id\_Visu","panelIndex":4,"row":1,"size\_x":3,"size\_y":2,"type":"visualization"}]", "optionsJSON": "{"darkTheme":false}", "uiStateJSON": "{"P-1":{"spy":{"mode":{"fill":false,"name":null}}},"P-2":{"spy":{"mode":{"fill":false,"name":null}}}}", "version": 1, "timeRestore": false, "kibanaSavedObjectMeta": { "searchSourceJSON": "{"filter":[{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"customer\_id:55","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}]}" } } curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/.kibana/dashboard/Dashboard55/](http://localhost:9200/.kibana/dashboard/Dashboard55/) -d @Dashboard55.json Thanks ---

Is there any performance drawback to always using the bulk API instead of the single index operation? ---
