If you don't specify -pks it will export all your dashboards.


./build/env/bin/hue dumpdata search.Collection -indent 2 -pks=20000013 -natural > data.json

**Using Hue 3.7 or less**
./build/env/bin/hue dumpdata search -indent 2 > data.json

  then
./build/env/bin/hue loaddata data.json

  And that's it, the dashboards with the same IDs will be refreshed with the imported ones! [][3]   **Note**: If using CM, export this variable in order to point to the correct database:
HUE_CONF_DIR=/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/-hue-HUE_SERVER-id

echo $HUE_CONF_DIR

export HUE_CONF_DIR
Where is the most recent ID in that process directory for hue-HUE_SERVER.   Have any questions? Feel free to contact us on [hue-user][4] or [@gethue][5]!
