Bulk uploading dashboards

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.

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.
