I just published the first release of [kibtool](https://github.com/jpparis-orange/kibtool).

If you are managing several Kibana instances (ie. development, preproduction and production) and if you are tired to export/import objects using the Kibana GUI, `kibtool` CLI is the right tool to reduce your click count!

Comment, question and issues are welcomed, either here or on Github.

A new version 0.2 is out

- `--visu` and `--search` selectors added
- `--check` tired to have Kibana complaining about missing visualizations? Use this option to validate your Kibana objects
- `--dry` say what will be done without doing it. Could be helpfull before using `--delete`
- `--delete` remove objects
- bug corrected
- `--count` gives the size of search requests used to find object by title
