Export saved objects
Retrieve sets of saved objects that you want to import into Kibana.
You must include type or objects in the request body.
Exported saved objects are not backwards compatible and cannot be imported into an older version of Kibana.
NOTE: The savedObjects.maxImportExportSize configuration setting limits the number of saved objects which may be exported.
This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Body Required
-
excludeExportDetails boolean
Do not add export details entry at the end of the stream.
Default value is
false. -
includeReferencesDeep boolean
Includes all of the referenced objects in the exported objects.
-
objects array[object]
A list of objects to export.
Additional properties are allowed.
