Hi,

I am new to kibana and ELS. I have been working on migrating graphs from production env to many other env. I can create visualizations on the fly using GET and POST calls using the rest api - [http://server](http://server):port/elasticsearch/.kibana/visualization/visualisation\_name. Now I want to create dashboards on the fly, I am not able to find the API endpoints which gives/sends JSON data for viewing/creating (GET and POST) for dashboards. Could you guys help me with ideas and suggestions on how to proceed with this ?

`/elasticsearch/.kibana/dashboard/dashboard_name`

However, keep in mind that this is not a documented Kibana API. The `/elasticsearch` endpoint simply proxies requests to elasticsearch, and we're actively working on trying to remove this proxy, so it likely won't work forever.
