Simple backup for Kibana saved objects: config, index patterns, dashboards, saved searches, etc.

Uses python3 and python-requests library, which you have to install on your every host anyway, because it's awesome.

Usage

kibana-backup.py [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] backup > backup.ndjson

cat backup.ndjson | kibana-backup.py [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] restore

• backup write backup file in newline-delimitered json format to stdout
• restore restore backup from stdin
• --kibana-url base URL to access Kibana API, default: http://127.0.0.1:5601
• --space-id Kibana space id. If not set then the default space is used.
• --user Kibana user
• --password Kibana password

Note: To use the default space you should not set --space-id parameter. Setting it to the default space id: default does not work.
