Not sure about OpenSearch, but in Kibana (tried in version 6.x) you could export a dashboard as a json and them there was a REST endpoint to import a dashboard via a JSON. I used that to dynamically create a dashboard in a jenkins pipeline sometime back. OpenSearch dashboard should have the same API.

ThankYou Imesha… Yes but i too didn’t found the OpenSearchDashboard API’s to create the Dashboard programetically… seems we need to use Kibana endpoint to do the same…

Indeed, I’ve been using the following:

To export json object (dashboard/viz/…):

curl -u 'user:pass' -X POST 'http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_export' -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'securitytenant: test_tenant' -d '{
  "objects": [
    {
      "type": "dashboard",
      "id": "a12ccca0-g567-15eb-9v71-c92d207nv042"
    }
  ],
  "includeReferencesDeep": true
}' > export.ndjson

To import json object (dashboard/viz/…):

curl -u 'user:pass' -X POST 'http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_import?overwrite=true' -H 'securitytenant: test_tenant' -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' --form file=@export.ndjson
