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.
