/\_plugin/kibana/api/saved\_objects/\_import -H "kbn-xsrf:true" -b auth.txt --form file=@test.ndjson
I'm able to login and export the dashboard. But when i try to import it's giving below error.
It was taking 1 min of time and later throwing below error. Even for very small dashboards as well it's the same error.
Can some one please help me. Stuck at this point since 3 restless days.

I'm able to import this via UI. The issue i'm facing from is via API.

Welcome!

What do you mean? Kibana is made by elastic.
Sounds like the error message is from nginx and not Kibana. I suspect that you are not running a real version of Kibana. Which version is Elasticsearch?

Upgrade to 7.17 at least or 8.13.4.

You are saying error is w.r.t nginx. How could version upgrade solve this issue.
Please let me know 🙂

I don't know if it will solve your issue. Probably not, but at least you will use a "safe" version and not an outdated one.

I was able to import dashboards from UI. But when I try from kibana import api
https://\/\_plugin/kibana/api/saved\_objects/\_import
Then I'm facing this issue. I wonder that import API worked some time for me and later it started giving this error.

On executing below approach it seems like I was able to send the ndjson file to kibana. But Kibana was unable to process.

Do you have nginx running? Could directly call kibana instead ?
Also check the content-type. You are not providing it when running the curl command.
