command line load dashboard

[oweng]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to load a dashboard from the command line? Is there a URL that I could use with curl to do this?

Thank you,

Geoff

There is no way to load a dashboard from the command line, Kibana requires a modern browser environment

That said, I think you can use something like the following (tested on Mac):

open http://localhost:9200/_plugin/kibana/#/dashboard/elasticsearch/yourdashboardname

It will open a browser and open the right dashboard.

@oweng Is it what you are looking for?

Thanks guys, I think what I am looking for is:

1. boot up a new server and install kibana
2. when booting up, have a script replace the default dashboard with the one I created

I know this is a strange request, I am doing this as we pop up new environments where I just change the hostnames being queried in the dashboad JSON file. Just looking to see if there is a way to have that dashboard get loaded instead of the default logstash one. We currently are using kibana3 pre2, as I am a little behind on getting things moved over.

Thanks for your help.

If I understand it, you only need to download the dashboard as a JSON file and reuse it when needed:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/youdashboardname -d '{
  // Your kibana dashboard here
}'

Oh, Okay, I get it. That makes sense. Sometimes I like to make things
difficult in my head. :)

Thanks for your help David! I really appreciate it.

Oh, I think I understand now. You can just replace dashboards/default.json with whatever dashboard schema you've exported

[oweng]

Perfect!

Sorry for all the confusion! This really helps.

I'm trying to do the same, but with --data-binary @dashboard.json, it doesn't seem to work. I've exported a working dashboard, so it's not a syntax issue. Any advice ?

[oweng]

Have you tried this? This worked for me:

curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/dashboard-name -d
'content'

regards,

Geoff

Doesn't seem to work, when I do a curl XGET, the format of a working dashboard compared to what I created is not the same. I see all return char are replaced by "" in a good dashboard.

By exporting the dashboard, i could restore it by copying it to app/dashboards/, i'm not sure how to get the good json format to import it through curl and give a file as parameter.

[brianlow]

This works for me

curl -s -X GET http://localhost:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/mydashboard/_source > mydashboard.json
curl -X PUT http://localhost:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/mydashboard -T mydashboard.json

Here is an example document:

{
    "user":"guest",
    "group":"guest",
    "title":"mydashboard",
    "dashboard":"here is the dashboard definition, this is the portion you get when exporting from the UI"
}

Is it possible to query elasticsearch/kibana to check if it received any data in the past 5 mins? If so, can someone guide me through the query that i can do in bash?

I'm french so sorry for the bad English.
But if you want to load dashboard in command line you can with a script shell.
First you have to import vizualisation which permits to build your dashboard, and then import your dashboard too. (it's in JSon so).
After, You have to browse your files of vizualisation, then your file of dashboard, by creating a .kibana in which you have to insert these files formattant the json.
The index-pattern must be also created.
Besides, you have to insert data in the elastic-index to generate this dashboard.
I'm not sure you understand me, but if you want I develop a script which can do this.
Look my github if you want. I'm developping that and I have to commit the release beacause the first version is not complete.

I am working where I am creating the json file having dashboard and visualization using some programs. so can any one please tell me how can I automate the json file directly into kibana without doing it manually.
