Today at work I accidentally redeployed our ELK instance without taking a backup of all of Kibana's saved objects...

I didn't realize Elastic stores all indexes including the Kibana's in it's app folder by default.

Tomorrow will be fun.... I can't decide what to do first... Recreating all the charts and tables from memory... Or fixing the deployment script to change the data dir path...

    RIP...

    You should probably also look into a backup solution as well

    @unsignedint well exporting all the config would of saved most of it. It just didn't cross my mind somehow to backup before overwriting the existing elk deployment until I got the Go button... Then I'm like fck....
