# Upgrade from Kibana OSS to OpenSearch Dashboards
Kibana OSS stores its visualizations and dashboards in one or more indices (`.kibana*`) on the Elasticsearch OSS cluster. As such, the most important step is to leave those indices intact as you upgrade from Elasticsearch OSS to OpenSearch.
Consider exporting all Kibana objects prior to starting the upgrade. In Kibana, choose **Stack Management**, **Saved Objects**, **Export objects**.
{: .tip }
1. After you upgrade your Elasticsearch OSS cluster to OpenSearch, stop Kibana.
1. Extract the OpenSearch Dashboards tarball to a new directory.
1. Port your settings from `<kibana-dir>/config/kibana.yml` to `<dashboards-dir>/config/opensearch_dashboards.yml`.
In general, settings with `elasticsearch` in their names map to `opensearch` (e.g. `elasticsearch.shardTimeout` and `opensearch.shardTimeout`) and settings with `kibana` in their names map to `opensearchDashboards` (e.g. `kibana.defaultAppId` and `opensearchDashboards.defaultAppId`). Most other settings use the same names.
For a full list of OpenSearch Dashboards settings, see [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/blob/main/config/opensearch_dashboards.yml){:target='\_blank'}.
1. If your OpenSearch cluster uses the security plugin, preserve and modify the default settings in `opensearch_dashboards.yml`, particularly `opensearch.username` and `opensearch.password`.
If you disabled the security plugin on your OpenSearch cluster, remove or comment out all `opensearch_security` settings. Then run `rm -rf plugins/security-dashboards/` to remove the security plugin.
1. Start OpenSearch Dashboards:
```
./bin/opensearch-dashboards
```
1. Log in, and verify that your saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards are present.
