== Saving and Loading
|
|
You've built an amazing dashboard! Now you want to share it with your
|
|
team, maybe turn on auto-refresh and put it up on a big screen? Kibana
|
|
can persist dashboard designs to Elasticsearch and allow you to recall
|
|
them via the load menu or links.

=== Saving your awesome dashboard
|
|
Saving your flashy new interface is as easy as opening the save drop
|
|
down by clicking the *Save* icon in the upper righthand corner. Give
|
|
your new dashboard a name and hit _enter_. Now your dashboard has been
|
|
saved to a special Elasticsearch index called `kibana-int`

|
|
=== Recalling your dashboard
|
|
To search a list of your saved dashboards click the *Load* icon in the
|
|
upper righthand corner. From here you can load, share and remove
|
|
dashboards.

|
|
=== Sharing dashboards
|
|
Saved dashboards can be shared via the URL in your brower's navigation
|
|
bar. Dashboards persisted to Elasticsearch will have a URL that points
|
|
to them, such as:
|
|
|
|
[source,shell]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
http://your_host/index.html#/dashboard/elasticsearch/MYDASHBOARD
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In this example `MYDASHBOARD` is the title we have given the dashboard
|
|
when saving.
|
|
|
|
You can also share links to adhoc dashboards by generating a temporary
|
|
URL to them by clicking the *Share* icon in the upper righthand corner
|
|
of Kibana.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
By default these temporary URLs live for 30 days.

|
|
=== Saving a static dashboard
|
|
Dashboards can also be saved to disk on your server as .json files.
|
|
Place them in the `app/dashboards` directory and access them via
|
|
|
|
[source,shell]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
http://your_host/index.html#/dashboard/file/MYDASHBOARD.json
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Where `MYDASHBOARD.json` is the name of the file on disk. Note the path
|
|
`/#dashboard/file/` appears similar to the above path for accessing
|
|
Elasticsearch stored dashboards, but in this case we are accessing a
|
|
file instead of elasticsearch. For information on exporting the
|
|
dashboard schema to a file see link:./_dashboard_schema.html[The
|
|
Dashboard Schema Explained]
|
|
|
|
=== Next steps
|
|
Now that you know how to save dashboards, how to load them and how to
|
|
access them on disk you might be interested in passing them parameters
|
|
via the URL so you can programatically make links to data from other
|
|
applications. See link:./templated-and-scripted-dashboards.html[Templated and
|
|
Scripted Dashboards]
