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

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/elastic/claude-plugin /tmp/claude-plugin && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin/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; and choose the correct dataset type (data view vs ES|QL) before writing metrics or chart layers. 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). The Operations table at the end of this document maps each shorthand to the equivalent elastic CLI command — always use the CLI rather than calling the HTTP API directly.
