Import and export dashboards 🔗
You can import or export dashboards from the UI. You can export the dashboard as a JSON file for other users to import to their dashboard or dashboard group. Exporting a dashboard is also a way to maintain a backup of the dashboard. Splunk does not support editing the exported JSON file, which could negatively impact import.
