timelion sheet export

[jpcarey]

Kibana version: 5.0.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use timelion, and "Save entire Timelion sheet"
2. Use the Management > Saved Objects
3. The timelion sheet cannot be exported

Describe the feature: Timelion sheets should be exportable, just like all other items used in kibana. The only way to import/export currently is to GET .kibana/timelion-sheet/_search...

[Jymit]

This is still the case in version 5.4

The steps are the same as noted originally. It would be nice to get an idea if this is on the roadmap at this point in time.

Hi,
"GET .kibana/timelion-sheet/_search..." it"s just in URL ? or there is an directory in kibana ?

[danielmotaleite]

Just lost a big timelion sheet because i forgot to tick the "Save as a new timelion-sheet" ... and my "backup", the exported object, do not have any timelion sheet

[kobelb]

Is there an underlying reason why the timelion-sheet saved-objects aren't exportable/importable via the standard mechanisms?

[kobelb]

@timroes will the timelion-sheet saved-objects no longer be supported in 8.0?

[timroes]

Yes the timelion-sheet saved object will be gone with 8.0 with the removal of the timelion application.

[timroes]

Nevertheless I wonder why they are not exportable via the regular saved object API, that should be an issue worth looking into cc @stratoula

Especially if we plan to remove them I think they should be exportable via the regular saved object mechanism. I also don't see a reason why they wouldn't be atm.

[stratoula]

Yes, @timroes I have it in mind. We are going to look into this asap

[kobelb]

Thanks for the update @timroes. I'll remove this as a "must have" for removing legacy multi-tenancy because it seems unnecessary to allow users to "move" the timelion-sheet saved-objects to the default tenant if they're just going to be unsupported.
