Location of custom Kibana dashboards in ElasticSearch

Yes, the Kibana dashboards are being saved in Elasticsearch under kibana-int index (by default, you can override that in the config.js file). If you want to move your Kibana dashboards to another ES cluster you have two options:

  1. Export manually the dashboards. Click on Save -> Advanced -> Export Schema. You have to save the file and then in the new Kibana you have to import click over Load -> Advanced -> Choose File and choosing the file that have selected. This is a pain, because you have to do this operation per dashboard that you want to migrate.
  2. You can use an utility to migrate an ES index from one ES cluster to another. There are some utilities already that can perform this operation. Searching in SO, I found this answer that suggest you to use the Elasticsearch.pm library (Perl :S) to do this. Probably there are more utilities like this but I do not think that doing a script that migrate an index to another cluster is such a difficult task.

EDIT: For the second option, you can use the python elasticsearch library and its helper reindex, if you feel more confortable with Python: https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/helpers.html#elasticsearch.helpers.reindex
