Hi all

I'd like to know the command line in order to do export of Visualizations, and Dashboards and the import to a new Kibana in a new enviroment.

I think that if it's possible to UI there is a method to do with the command line (I hope)

Thank you  
Bye  
Franco

If you only want dashboards, this api will export all of a dashboards dependencies. The saved object api is your best bet for granular requests, index patterns and so on.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
