kibana中展示的visualize图表及dashboard，是保存在Elasticsearch的kibana-int索引的dashboard类型中的（以kibana3来说明)。

下面获取一保存的一个dashboard

GET http://localhost:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/skytone.optlog

{
    "_index": "kibana-int",
    "_type": "dashboard",
    "_id": "skytone.optlog",
    "_version": 11,
    "found": true,
    "_source": {
        "user": "guest",
        "group": "guest",
        "title": "skytone.optlog",
        "dashboard": "xxx"
    }
}

其中，dashboard字段中保存着具体的kibana中展示的具体的内容，可以参照着kibana的界面设置，很容易明白其实信息的含义的：

因此，如果有大量的类型的dashboard需要添加的话，可以用工具或脚本调用http rest api来向kibana-int/dashboard中添加上面格式的文档就可以了。

下面增加一个新的dashboard，skytone.optlog2

POST  http://localhost:9200/kibana-int/dashboard/skytone.optlog2
{
    "user": "guest",
    "group": "guest",
    "title": "skytone.optlog2",
    "dashboard": "XXXX"  //就是上面GET出来的内容，见于篇副省略了
}
