As a software vendor, I want to define a dashboard that can be used by multiple clients in their respective Elasticsearch/Kibana deployments. If I create a dashboard manually for one client, and export it as an NDJSON file, can I import that file into another client's deployment (assuming that the other client has an index with the same data format)? If not, is there another way to achieve such portability?

Welcome to our community! 😃
Yes, you can do that as long as the index pattern's match. Otherwise you will need to alter that to match.
