Is there a proper way to keep saved index templates, saved searches, visualizations and dashboards when Elastic Stack working on docker environment?

All of these are persisted to the Elasticsearch cluster. So long as you're persisting this cluster, these objects should stick around.

We are using docker images ([https://www.docker.elastic.co/](https://www.docker.elastic.co/)) on docker swarm. This is different than Elasticsearch cluster right?

Nope, that is Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch is a database, and those are the Docker images for it. There is more information here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html)

You need to mount the data directory as a volume, otherwise, the data won't persist if all the nodes go down.
