Hi all  
I want to migrate kibana 3 to kibana 4 in my company. Nowhere in Google or Forums ,the steps or process to migration is specified. The answers everywhere are very generic.  
It would be of great help if someone specify the process.

You cannot upgrade as there are core changes between the two versions that mean you need to rebuild your all dashboards.

That means, I need to install a brand new 4.0 and build the dashboard one by one?
