Create and manage Kibana Dashboards and Lens visualizations. Use when you need to define dashboards and visualizations declaratively, version control them, automate their deployment, or improve layout, sections, controls, or chart design.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/elastic/agent-skills /tmp/agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/agent-skills/skills/kibana/kibana-dashboards ~/.claude/skills/kibana-dashboards

## From README

Kibana Dashboards and Lens Visualizations Create, update, and delete Kibana dashboards and standalone Lens visualizations using the Kibana 9.4+ Dashboards and Visualizations APIs. Produce minimal, diffable JSON bodies; prefer inline panel definitions over library references; choose the correct dataset type (data view vs ES|QL) before writing metrics or chart layers; and follow the design guidance in Dashboard Design Guidelines and Chart Design Guidelines so the result reads like a well-made Kibana dashboard, not a schema dump. Environment Configuration This skill executes Elasticsearch operations through the elastic CLI. If the elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do not guess credentials, call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds. This skill references operations in HTTP-shorthand form (e.g., GET /, GET /cat/indices, GET /{index}/mapping, GET /{index}/settings/index.mode, POST /query).
