Archiving Your Beat Dashboards

Stack

The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats.

Availability

  • Generally available

    This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage.

Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments.

This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

The Kibana dashboards for the Elastic Beats are saved under the kibana directory. To create a zip archive with the dashboards, including visualizations and searches and the index pattern, you can run the following command in the Beat repository:

Shell
make package-dashboards

The Makefile is part of libbeat, which means that community Beats contributors can use the commands shown here to archive dashboards. The dashboards must be available under the kibana directory.

Another option would be to create a repository only with the dashboards, and use the GitHub release functionality to create a zip archive.

Share the Kibana dashboards archive with the community, so other users can use your cool Kibana visualizations!
