Kibana dashboards and index patterns lost after delete kibana pod

[humartinez]

Hi,
I just delete the kibana pod that I build with eck and I lost all the dashboards and index patterns that I've created. I thought that that info was loaded in the .kibana index. Its theres a way that I can recover the patterns and visualizations? How can I prevent it from happening again, keeping in mind that kibana's pods should be ephimeral. How can I make that info persistant?

apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Kibana
metadata:
  name: kibana-clogging-int
spec:
  version: 7.12.1
  count: 1
  elasticsearchRef:
    name: "elasticsearch-clogging-int"
  podTemplate:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: kibana
        resources:
          limits:
            memory: 1Gi
            cpu: 1

That data is stored in elasticsearch. Deleting the kibana pod shouldn't have any affect on that. Are you sure your ES pods weren't recreated? I've recreated our kibana pods in our ECK env without issue multiple times.
