Hi everyone,

is it possible to import my .json files from Kibana4 programmaticaly , so that I am able to create some kind install script?  
As I read those files are somehow listed in elasticsearch indexer, but I cannot find a good place to start.

If it is possible, please give me some hints in the correct direction.

Best

It is currently not possible to do what you're asking. However, there is an open issue on Github regarding this: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4759](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4759)
