Dashboard Updates

QUESTION

When upgrading the Kibana or OpenSearch Dashboards, is it necessary to also update the ElastiFlow dashboards?

ANSWER

While we are constantly improving our dashboards, some of which take advantage of version-specific features, the earlier dashboards should continue to work after upgrading Kibana or OpenSearch Dashboards. If however you want to use the latest dashboards, you can usually overwrite the existing saved objects. You can also delete the existing saved objects prior to importing the latest. This will ensure that there are no issues.

When overwriting or deleting your existing saved objects, any customization you may have made will be lost. It is recommended that you first export any customized visualizations, saved searches or dashboards. You will then be able to reimport them as necessary.
