Import saved objects

Behaviour flags:

--dry-run — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

--file string required
A file exported using the export API. Changing the contents of the exported file in any way before importing it can cause errors, crashes or data loss. NOTE: The savedObjects.maxImportExportSize configuration setting limits the number of saved objects which may be included in this file. Similarly, the savedObjects.maxImportPayloadBytes setting limits the overall size of the file that can be imported.
--overwrite
Overwrites saved objects when they already exist. When used, potential conflict errors are automatically resolved by overwriting the destination object. NOTE: This option cannot be used with the createNewCopies option.
--create-new-copies
Creates copies of saved objects, regenerates each object ID, and resets the origin. When used, potential conflict errors are avoided. NOTE: This option cannot be used with the overwrite and compatibilityMode options.
--compatibility-mode
Applies various adjustments to the saved objects that are being imported to maintain compatibility between different Kibana versions. Use this option only if you encounter issues with imported saved objects. NOTE: This option cannot be used with the createNewCopies option.
--input-file string
path to a JSON file to use as command input
--dry-run
validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
--no-validate
skip input validation and send the request as-is
--output-fields string
comma-separated list of fields to include in output (dot-notation supported)
--output-template string
Mustache-like template for custom text output (e.g. "{{id}}: {{name}}")
--json

output as JSON
