Thank you @flash1293 for your responses throughout this thread.

The issue was:

1. the exported dashboard seems to contain an entry of the default index pattern, along with the visualizations. This caused conflict when the dashboard is imported.
2. Some index patterns are not listed when using this api call  
`curl -X GET "http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_find?type=index-pattern&search_fields=title" > $indx_patterns `  
I have to add page=10000 to get all the index patterns.  
`curl -s "${kibana_url}/api/saved_objects/_find?fields=title&fields=type&per_page=10000&type=index-pattern" > $indx_patterns`

If you have time, I would appreciate your help in my other Kibana-vega issue

Thank you.
