Migrating Dashboards Between OpenSearch Instances

If you need to migrate visualizations or dashboards from one OpenSearch instance to another, you can do the following steps:

Export Saved Objects

• Go to Management > Saved Objects > Export.
• Select the objects to export (e.g., dashboards or visualizations).

Correct the .ndjson file

It is important to note that if you have already created a new index-pattern in the new instance, be sure to remove all index-pattern information from the .ndjson file. Either way, it will create a duplicate for the index pattern.

Import Saved Objects

• If there is no such index-pattern in the new instance or you’ve removed an index-pattern part from the .ndjson file, then in the target instance, go to Management > Saved Objects > Import.
• Upload the .ndjson file.
• In this case, you will get the message to pick an index-pattern that dashboard and visualizations should use.

• Open the imported visualizations or dashboards and check if they function correctly.
• Update missing or mismatched resources, such as index patterns.
