Hi all....

I am trying to Import and Export Visualizations and Dashboards with Elasticdump in kibana-6

```auto
elasticdump \
	--input=http://localhost:9200/.kibana \
    --headers='{"Content-Type": "application/json"}' \
    --output=/home/sgpl-user/import.json \
    --type=data \
    --searchBody='{"filter": {"or": [{"type": {"value": "dashboard"}}, {"type" : {"value":"visualization"}}] }}'

```

it is throwing below error

```auto
