Scenario -  
I am using FluentD-\>ElasticSearch-\>kibana setup.  
In fluentD configuration file some of the fields are getting created which are getting added in ElasticSearch. Also in Kibana we have many scripted fields.

Using Knapsack plugin I am exporting Kibana visualization objects, indexes and scripted fields.  
This export file I have imported in other FluenD-\>Kibana-\>ElasticSearch setup (This is fresh setup and no data present here).

After export I am getting missing fields error. How to initialize data?
