# Migrating from Kibana OSS to OpenSearch Dashboards
|
|
|
|
Kibana OSS stores its visualizations and dashboards in one or more indexes (`.kibana*`) on the Elasticsearch OSS cluster. As such, the most important step is to leave those indexes intact as you migrate from Elasticsearch OSS to OpenSearch.
|
|
|
|
Consider exporting all Kibana objects prior to starting the migration. In Kibana, choose **Stack Management**, **Saved Objects**, **Export objects**.
|
|
{: .tip }
|
|
|
|
1. After you migrate your Elasticsearch OSS cluster to OpenSearch, stop Kibana.
|
|
|
|
1. For safety, make a backup copy of `<kibana-dir>/config/kibana.yml`.
|
|
|
|
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` (for example, `elasticsearch.shardTimeout` and `opensearch.shardTimeout`) and settings with `kibana` in their names map to `opensearchDashboards` (for example, `kibana.defaultAppId` and `opensearchDashboards.defaultAppId`). Most other settings use the same names.
|
|
|
|
For a full list of OpenSearch Dashboards settings, see [opensearch_dashboards.yml](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.
