This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added. This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.

== Managing Saved Searches, Visualizations, and Dashboards
|
|
|
|
You can view, edit, and delete saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards from *Settings > Objects*. You can also
|
|
export or import sets of searches, visualizations, and dashboards.
|
|
|
|
Viewing a saved object displays the selected item in the *Discover*, *Visualize*, or *Dashboard* page. To view a saved
|
|
object:
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Settings > Objects*.
|
|
. Select the object you want to view.
|
|
. Click the *View* button.
|
|
|
|
Editing a saved object enables you to directly modify the object definition. You can change the name of the object, add
|
|
a description, and modify the JSON that defines the object's properties.
|
|
|
|
If you attempt to access an object whose index has been deleted, Kibana displays its Edit Object page. You can:
|
|
|
|
* Recreate the index so you can continue using the object.
|
|
* Delete the object and recreate it using a different index.
|
|
* Change the index name referenced in the object's `kibanaSavedObjectMeta.searchSourceJSON` to point to an existing
|
|
index pattern. This is useful if the index you were working with has been renamed.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: No validation is performed for object properties. Submitting invalid changes will render the object unusable.
|
|
Generally, you should use the *Discover*, *Visualize*, or *Dashboard* pages to create new objects instead of directly
|
|
editing existing ones.
|
|
|
|
To edit a saved object:
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Settings > Objects*.
|
|
. Select the object you want to edit.
|
|
. Click the *Edit* button.
|
|
. Make your changes to the object definition.
|
|
. Click the *Save Object* button.
|
|
|
|
To delete a saved object:
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Settings > Objects*.
|
|
. Select the object you want to delete.
|
|
. Click the *Delete* button.
|
|
. Confirm that you really want to delete the object.
|
|
|
|
To export a set of objects:
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Settings > Objects*.
|
|
. Select the type of object you want to export. You can export a set of dashboards, searches, or visualizations.
|
|
. Click the selection box for the objects you want to export, or click the *Select All* box.
|
|
. Click *Export* to select a location to write the exported JSON.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Exported dashboards do not include their associated index patterns. Re-create the index patterns manually before
|
|
importing saved dashboards to a Kibana instance running on another Elasticsearch cluster.
|
|
|
|
To import a set of objects:
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Settings > Objects*.
|
|
. Click *Import* to navigate to the JSON file representing the set of objects to import.
|
|
. Click *Open* after selecting the JSON file.
|
|
. If any objects in the set would overwrite objects already present in Kibana, confirm the overwrite.
