Importing Kibana dashboards into OpenSearch Dashboards

In IBM Business Automation Insights 24.0.0 Kibana is no longer supported due to the replacement of Elasticsearch with OpenSearch. However, you can import Kibana dashboards into OpenSearch Dashboards.

Before you begin

You must install OpenSearch Dashboards to be able to follow this procedure. See the Installing OpenSearch page of the OpenSearch documentation.

Procedure

  1. Open the Kibana user interface (UI) in your web browser.
  2. Navigate to Saved Objects.
  3. In the list of saved objects, select the dashboard you wish to migrate by checking the corresponding box on the left.
  4. Click Export.
  5. Ensure that the Include related objects option is selected.
  6. Click Export again to download the file.

    The exported file will be in the Newline Delimited JSON (ndjson) format, which contains the definition of your dashboard.

  7. Open the OpenSearch Dashboards UI in your web browser.
  8. Click the menu button located in the top left corner.
  9. Under Management, select Dashboards Management.
  10. Click Import.
  11. Upload the ndjson file you downloaded from Kibana.

    Make sure that your saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards are present and working.
