Is it possible to load dashboard from schema programmatically?

[fandrei]

(i.e. by request to the Kibana server from an external program)

Create temporary dashboard and open it.

@bobrik, how to do this programmatically?

With scripted dashboards. See http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/kibana-3-milestone-4/ "more complex scripted dashboards" and https://github.com/elasticsearch/kibana/blob/v3.0.0milestone4/src/app/dashboards/logstash.js

I already have a Kibana schema stored in the file. What I need is to load it, i.e. the same function as provided by "Load / Advanced / Local file" command in the web interface. Is there any API method with the same function?

Sorry I did not understand your use case.
You can index the kibana dashboard in your kibana-int index (where saved and temp dashboards are stored).
You can call the elasticsearch index api in order to do that. Look at other dashboards in kibana-int to see what format it expects for the dashboard documents.

Thanks. This is what I needed.

Hi Fandrei,

I am creating an application in which I want to create a dashboard programmatically using the data stored in elastic search by index name.Can you help me how can I proceed keeping in mind that I am new to Kibana. I am currently using elastic search 2.1.1 ,log stash 2.1.1 and Kibana 4.3.1

Thanks
