Hi,

I have a Kibana 3 dashboard I want to use, but only Kibana 4 installed on my ELK stach. So I have 2 options:

1. Re-create the dashboard in kibana 4 (But I think it won't be easy since I am not familiar with it yet.)
2. Install Kibana 3 on my ELK stack.

Corrently, I think that option two will be better since I need an easy and fast solution (this dashboard is urgent.) but I was wondering how will kibana 3 and 4 function together, or should I "turn off" kibana 4 while using 3? And if so, how will I "turn it off"?

thanks!

Thanks, I suppose I'll have to go with recreating.
