Simple backup for Kibana saved objects: config, index patterns, dashboards, saved searches, etc.

Uses python3 and awesome python-requests library.

Usage

Backup/restore default namespace

kibana-backup.py backup [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] > backup.ndjson

cat backup.ndjson | kibana-backup.py restore [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD]

Backup non-default namespace

kibana-backup.py backup [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] --space-id=myspace --backup-file=myspace.ndjson

Backup/restore all namespaces

kibana-backup.py backup [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] --all-spaces --backup-file-prefix=backup-

Result: backup-default.ndjson backup-myspace.ndjson backup-myspace2.ndjson

kibana-backup.py restore [--kibana-url KIBANA_URL] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] --all-spaces --backup-file-prefix=backup-

Restores backup-default.ndjson to space id=default, backup-myspace.ndjson to space id=myspace, ...
