Exporting Search Information
You can export the contents of a query or search. This option can be very useful after you've refined your search to display only the relevant information for a cybersecurity issue and you would like to send this information to another SOC team member.
To export a query, complete the following steps:
Click the Settings tab, then click the Objects tab.
Select the object that you want to view.
You can export the dashboard, searches, or visualization. To export the contents of a search, click Searches, then click the check box next to the search you want to export.
Click Export to select a location to which to write the exported JSON.

Note Exported dashboards do not include their associated index patterns. Re-create the index patterns manually before importing saved dashboards to a Kibana instance running on another Elasticsearch cluster.
