Import Kibana Dashboard Elements

[driegel]

Feature Request

It's possible to export and import Kibana searches, visualizations and dashboards as JSON files.
It would be nice to have a class to import such files with puppet.

Feature Description

There will be a puppet defined type that imports files exported by Kibana.
It will only add new elements and overwrite previously imported elements, which means, a customer can copy dashboards as new ones that will not be wiped! However, it will be possible to call this puppet defined type multiple times to slipstream dashboards for Windows and Linux in one Kibana instance.

This feature would be amazing.

The grafana module has this, and it is indeed amazing. Though, most of the work is done by grafana's excellent built-in import functionality.
