Hello, everything is in the title 😋 I have some saved sheets in my Kibana instance, and would like to find a way to take them (where are them saved ??) and put them in another Kibana installation on another PC... Your ideas/suggestions are very welcome. Have a great day. ---

All the things it saves are in the `.kibana` index. There is an export option in the settings tab that should do the trick. ---

Hello Warkolm, thank you for your reply. I found the timelion-sheet Type in the .kibana index: with a simple RestApi http call, I was able to delete a saved sheet easily, like this: GET localhost:9200/.kibana/timelio-sheet/MySavedSheetId Unfortunately, as I have no objects in the Settings/Objects tab, I was not able to export a sheet. I suspect I could do this by using the RestApi again, I am still searching for a solution and will keep posted interested readers here. Have a great day. ---

Hi there, here I am again: I made a mistake in my last POST... If you want to delete a timelion-sheet, you should send a "DELETE" (and not "GET") http request, like this: DELETE localhost:9200/.kibana/timelion-sheet/MySavedSheetId My apologies 🙂 ---

Back again: if you want to export/import a timelion sheet, using the restApi, try this ! Export (get the content of your sheet, as seen above): GET localhost:9200/.kibana/timelio-sheet/MySavedSheetId Import: take the content your export, but just keep the elements under "source", and put it like this in your destination Kibana instance: PUT [http://localhost:9200/.kibana/timelion-sheet/ImportedTestSheet](http://localhost:9200/.kibana/timelion-sheet/ImportedTestSheet) JSON content of this http PUT request: { "title": "ImportedTestSheet", "hits": 0, "description": "", "timelion\_sheet": [".es(index='jmeter\_tir3',avg:ResponseTimeMs).label('Tir3').title(title='Response Time (ms)'),.es(index='jmeter\_tir4',avg:ResponseTimeMs,offset=-11m).label('Tir4')", ".es(index='jmeter\_tir3',avg:Bytes).label('Tir3').title(title='Bytes Per Request'),.es(index='jmeter\_tir4',avg:Bytes,offset=-11m).label('Tir4')", ".es(index='jmeter\_tir3',avg:Error).label('Tir3').title(title='Errors/s'),.es(index='jmeter\_tir4',avg:Error,offset=-11m).label('Tir4')", ".es(index='jmeter\_tir3').label('Tir3').title(title='Hits/s'),.es(index='jmeter\_tir4',offset=-11m).label('Tir4')"], "timelion\_interval": "1s", "timelion\_other\_interval": "1d", "timelion\_chart\_height": 275, "timelion\_columns": 2, "timelion\_rows": 2, "version": 1 } In this example, the Timelion code used in this sheet was (just to help you read the JSON content above ): .es(index='jmeter\_tir3',avg:ResponseTimeMs).label('Tir3').title(title='Response Time (ms)'),.es(index='jmeter\_tir4',avg:ResponseTimeMs,offset=-11m).label('Tir4') Hope this could help 🙂 ---

GET .kibana/timelion-sheet/MySavedSheetId This is not working. It gives me an output of { "\_index": ".kibana", "\_type": "timelion-sheet", "\_id": "MySavedSheetId", "found": false } Nothing found. I have one saved under Timelion. How to export the timesheets? ---
