push does nothing

[mantoni]

Hi there,

Nice module. It's exactly what I want. While pull works fine and downloads quite a few files, push does nothing. It doesn't fail either, it just does nothing.

From trying to trace it down, it seems like the used type doesn't match. When pulling, it creates a doc directory in the datadir, while when pushing, it looks for search and visualization directories which don't exist.

• Node 6.13
• Kibana 6.2.2

Thanks for your help.

Hi @mantoni,

sorry for the late reply. While you can pull every type that kibana contains, kibconfig itself only processes search, visualization and dashboard types when pushing. I would start inside Kibana, create a sample dashboard interactively and then pull.

Hi 👋That is what I did. Created a bunch of searches, graphs and dashboards. It downloads them with pull and I see all the files.

However, I now have a new Elastic instance and I want to apply the same dashboards, but push does nothing. From my debugging attempts, it doesn’t even try to upload anything. Apparently it doesn’t find the files.

Could you please send me an excerpt of your .kibconfig?

[mantoni]

I don't have one. I've set up a small repository with this package json:

{
  "name": "my-kibana-config",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "Kibana configs",
  "scripts": {
    "pull": "kibconfig --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --datadir . pull",
    "push": "kibconfig --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --datadir . push"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "kibconfig": "^0.2.1"
  }
}

Then I run npm run pull and npm run push.

@mantoni I found the issue

The newest Kibana versions seem to have changed in how all the entities are stored in the .kibana index. I will try to support that new storage format in the next release.
