Import, export and clone saved objects

[TiNico22]

As visualize configuration can be more complex in Kibana 4 than in 3 and visualize are part of dashboard, import / export feature should be great to share visualize with other people.

Update: request applies to dashboard as well, see #1551

Are you trying to share with someone who has access to your elasticsearch cluster? If so, that's as easy as sending your url.

There's also this little button:

That said, I personally don't think sharing a visualization from one cluster to another would be too useful, since the other person will have different data, indices, fields, etc.

It might be useful for tutorials, or blog posts, but even then the author could provide just the hash part of the url.

Thoughts?

Cross-cluster sharing may not work, but sharing the URL with people who have access to the same cluster/index is handy!

I was talking of the export shema feature from kibana 3

Idem for the load feature from kibana 3.
The same apply for visualize and dasboard

We are sharing dashboard shema without other people whitout having network access to each other ELK servers. This helps, as blog post & tutorial samples, to start a new deployement with some sample from friends without having to rewrite everything.

As a workaround you can go to settings -> objects -> visualizations and copy all the fields from there and paste them into another search (create a new one and save it) even on another elk server

@robozu thanks for the advice
Not as easy as the export schema from K3. It works also for dashboard.
But with K3, exporting a dashboard was the equivalent of exporting a dashboard + all related visualize in K4
The major issue is, if I have a lot of visualize, to export once by once. I would rather have an "export all my visualize" feature.

Also, if I have mutiple environments like Dev, Test and Production with separate ELK infrastructure, this feature would be nice so we can migrate visualizations from environments. Unless there is another way to accomplish the same task.

+1 for the dashboard export feature - really handy for being able to move between dev, test and prod

[leonardpunt]

+1, for the same reason as mentioned by @abh1nav
