Hi All,

as we are very new to the ELK stack, I'm not sure if this is the right  
place to ask, but perhaps you can help with the following problem.

We saved some visualization with quotationmark in the name, for example:  
'Count-exciis\_page:-%22-slash-Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync%2Fdefault.eas%22'

Since it was saved, we are not able to change the visualization search  
again. If we select edit on such saved object, it jumps to "Discovery"  
instead of "Visualize".

Is there a way to rename the saved visualization in elasticsearch, so we  
are able to edit it again?

We are using:  
elasticsearch 1.4.4  
kibana 4.0.0 Build 5888

Thanks allot,  
Benedikt

You might have to extract the doc from the .kibana index, edit it and then  
send it back to get immediate access.

However it'd also be worth raising this as a Github issue, perhaps there is  
something that is not being properly escaped under the hood, which causes  
the behaviour.

Hey Mark,

you where absolutly right.  
I used elasticdump to export and reimport the document in the .kibana index.

Thank you.
