Import saved objects

Server: https://{kibana_url}

POST /api/saved_objects/_import
POST /s/{space_id}/api/saved_objects/_import

Refer to Spaces for more information.

Create sets of Kibana saved objects from a file created by the export API. Saved objects can be imported only into the same version, a newer minor on the same major, or the next major. Exported saved objects are not backwards compatible and cannot be imported into an older version of Kibana.

Query Parameters

Request

file object: A file exported using the export API. Changing the contents of the exported file in any way before importing it can cause errors, crashes or data loss. NOTE: The savedObjects.maxImportExportSize configuration setting limits the number of saved objects which may be included in this file. Similarly, the savedObjects.maxImportPayloadBytes setting limits the overall size of the file that can be imported.
