How do I generate OpenSearch dashboards as NDJSON for import?▼

You can generate OpenSearch dashboards as NDJSON by providing index pattern details and visualization specs, which produces an importable bundle of saved objects for the OpenSearch or Elasticsearch environment.

What are OpenSearch saved objects and when do I need to export them?▼

OpenSearch saved objects are configurations for index patterns, visualizations, and dashboards stored as JSON. You need to export them as NDJSON when standardizing environments, prototyping dashboards, or sharing setups across OpenSearch and Elasticsearch.

Can I use generated NDJSON saved objects with Elasticsearch and Kibana?▼

Yes, the generated NDJSON saved objects are compatible and can be imported via the UI or API across OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, and Kibana environments to streamline dashboard setup and sharing.

How do I automate index pattern and visualization creation in OpenSearch?▼

You can automate index pattern and visualization creation in OpenSearch by defining your data source specifications, which generates a ready-to-import NDJSON payload that bypasses manual dashboard configuration.

What is the best way to standardize dashboards across multiple OpenSearch environments?▼

The best way to standardize dashboards across OpenSearch environments is to generate NDJSON saved objects, creating a repeatable bundle of index patterns and visualizations that can be imported via API or UI.
