Kibana dashboards are part of the Elastic stack, they run from a web server on your host. If you want to share the dashboard you would just share the links. If you want to share a specific dashboard you can use the Share link at the top of the dashboard. --Bryan Vest ---

Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried sharing through all the four options (embedded iframe and link options) under both saved dashboard as well as snapshot, but nothing went right. Am i following the correct step or do i have to follow some additional steps to this ?? ---

The link which i shared is not opening in the other system. It is showing "localhost refused to connect. Search Google for app kibana." ---

[`localhost`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost) is, by definition, only every accessible locally. You need to use the IP or domain name of the server that runs Kibana. ---
