Kibana stores the data in an index which defaults to ".kibana". You can find the index your deployment of Kibana is using by looking at the "kibana\_index" setting in your kibana.yml configuration file.

Also , Using the import and export commands, you can move objects between different Kibana instances. This action is useful when you have multiple environments for development and production. Import and export also work well when you have a large number of objects to update and want to batch the process. You can follow the below link for more detailed explanation.
