Migrating Dashboards via REST API

Dashboard migration from development to production as well as other dashboard configurations can be automated with a few Sisense REST API Commands for Dashboards .

Importing Dashboard Files

The endpoint POST /dashboards/import receives the metadata of a dashboard(s) and imports the dashboard(s) on another Sisense instance.

The endpoint POST /dashboards/copy copies selected dashboards to a remote Sisense server.

Changing the Data Source to the Production Elasticube

The endpoint POST /dashboards/{server}/{title}/replace_datasource replaces the data source object of all the dashboards and widgets in the system.
