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?

```auto
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

```
