There's no way to do this automatically at the moment. Here's an open Github issue you can track: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8293](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/8293) ---

The dashboard saved object document contains the IDs of all its linked visualizations. You can't do joins in ES so there's no way to grab everything in a single query, but you could easily write a script that retrieves everything for you directly from ES. ---

Sorry, I don't have a pre-made script to do this job. All of Kibana's saved dashboards, visualizations, searches and index patterns are stored in the `.kibana` index in elasticsearch by default. You could grab one of the official [Elasticsearch Clients](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) for your favorite scripting language and write up a little script that grabs each dashboard and it's related objects (vis, index pattern, and any saved searches). Since ES exposes a REST API you could even do this with a simple shell script and cURL if that's your preference. ---

There is a reasonably new Kibana API that does what you are looking for. It does not yet seem very well documented, but there are some examples in [the GitHub issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/10858) that may be useful. ---

It does work for Kibana 6.x. I have used it myself a few times. ---

I used it like this: ```auto curl -XGET http://localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=d25f3e20-041d-11e8-af22-05a1f7ea412f > dashboard_export.json curl -XPOST http://localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/import -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'kbn-xsrf:true' -d @dashboard_export.json ``` As it is not a public, documented API, I suspect it may be subject to change, but for now it is working well for me... ---

If you export a dashboard that includes a saved search or has a visualisation based on one, are they not also exported? ---
