Bulk uploading dashboards

[jb60606]

1.) We have literally hundreds of dashboards created by users that we would like to migrate to the 'global' account though we only see the option to manually upload dashboards - one at a time - via their individual .json files. Is there no repository where these json files can be bulk uploaded?

2.) Is there a limit to how many dashboards we can have in one account - particularly those made global?

Thanks

There is no built-in way to do this using the Web GUI. I tried a couple of command-line methods out, but to my knowledge this procedure must be done using the GUI.

The following procedure at git: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/333 did not work for me. I have submitted an internal feature request for this functionality.

Is there a limit to how many dashboards we can have in one account - particularly those made global?

To my knowledge there is not a limit to how many dashboards you can have.

jb60606,

I spoke with a developer, and there is a solution that will work for you.

1. Put all of your dashboards into /var/www/html/nagioslogserver/application/dashboards
The dashboard must end in .json and be owned by the nagios user

2. Using your web browser, navigate to <nlsserver>/index.php/install/upgrade/globals

At this point, all of your dashboards will be imported.

Jolson,

Worked like a charm. Thanks again

Glad to hear it - I'll lock this thread as resolved.

Best,
