Hi there,  
as sysadmin I would like secure and therefore export Kibana related objects locally.  
I have 2 questions.

1. Example: the cluster has 10 spaces. I can go to each space and manually say 'Export n objects'. But is there a way to download all kibana objects for all spaces at once (to have less work)?
2. Is there an API so that I can accomplish the export objects task via CLI, even better via cron?  
Thank you!  
Stefano

Hi @smm,

There is a saved object API you could use: [Saved objects APIs | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api.html)

Please note, this API is experimental and could be changed in future, but it should work for your case.

I see there is an undocumented `namespaces` param which you could use to specify a list of spaces or a `*` to get objects from all the spaces.
