Since Kibana is coupled to ElasticSearch and Dashboards is coupled to OpenSearch, are you looking to migrate both or just the Dashboard? cause the latter isnt possible right now.

Hey,  
We have setup of Elasticsearch and Kibana (with version 8.0.0).  
Now we are moving towards OpenSearch and OpenSearch-dashboard (version 2.5.0).

So, is there a way to migrate the dashboards created in Kibana to OpenSearch?  
Or  
Do we have to create the dashboards in OpenSearch manually?

Assuming you migrated your documents from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch successfully, you could try migrating the dashboards too, but you are most likely going to run into errors so i highly recommend manually recreating them. Without more information this is the safest approach to migrate right now.
