=== Update Object
experimental[This functionality is *experimental* and may be changed or removed completely in a future release.]
The update saved object API enables you to update the attributes for an
existing Kibana saved object.
==== Request
`PUT /api/saved_objects/<type>/<id>`
==== Path Parameters
`type` (required)::
(string) Valid options, include: `visualization`, `dashboard`, `search`, `index-pattern`, `config`, and `timelion-sheet`
`id` (required)::
(string) ID of object to update
==== Request Body
`attributes` (required)::
(object) The data to persist
==== Examples
The following example updates an existing index pattern object identified as
`my-pattern` with a different index pattern title.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT api/saved_objects/index-pattern/my-pattern
{
"attributes": {
"title": "some-other-pattern-*"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// KIBANA
A successful call returns a response code of `200` and a response body
containing a JSON structure similar to the following example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"id": "my-pattern",
"type": "index-pattern",
"version": 2,
"attributes": {
"title": "some-other-pattern-*"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
==== Known issues
1. *Attributes are not validated at update time*. This means you can pass
arbitrary and ill-formed data into this API that can break Kibana. Make sure
any data you send to this API is properly formed.
