The idea to have it here was to make it easily available for community beats developers.

Yes, I will them back in the Makefile once I check the add details about how to use the new script.

We should recommend here to use the virtual environment under testing/environments to create the dashboards. The reasons for this is:
- People start with an empty Kibana instance
- Everyone is using the same Kibana version (most recent one)
- No setup on developer side needed
This should lead to hopefully cleaner dashboards or outdated dashboards.

That's a good point. I will add it.

LGTM. What happens with the "general" files in libbeat? https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/libbeat/etc/kibana Are these still taken into account or not needed anymore? |
|
@ruflin Good point. I didn't notice those from libbeat. I think we can delete the etc/kibana from libbeat as there are no common widgets or searches. |
|
@monicasarbu Previously we had the Navigation one in all dashboards. So this is not the case anymore? |
|
The Navigation widget should be added only to the Beats that have more than one Kibana dashboard to make it easier to navigate between them. |
- Add bash/powershell scripts to import and export the dashboards and its dependencies in Kibana. - Run `make import-dashboards` in a Beat repository to import all the dashboards and its dependencies from etc/kibana to Elasticsearch - Run `make export-dashboards` in a Beat repository to export all the dashboards and its dependencies from etc/kibana to Elasticsearch - Add documentation - Update changelog - Recommend to use testing/environments when creating dashboards.
