Update August 2015: It is not much easier to import or export your [dashboards][1], it is the same interface as the [Oozie workflows exporter][2].
**Using Hue 3.8 or CDH5.4**
20000013 is the id you can see in the URL of the dashboard. If you don't specify -pks it will export all your dashboards.
{{< highlight bash >}}
./build/env/bin/hue dumpdata search.Collection -indent 2 -pks=20000013 -natural > data.json
{{< /highlight >}}
**Using Hue 3.7 or less**
{{< highlight bash >}}./build/env/bin/hue dumpdata search -indent 2 > data.json
{{< /highlight >}}
then
{{< highlight bash >}}./build/env/bin/hue loaddata data.json
{{< /highlight >}}
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:
{{< highlight bash >}}HUE_CONF_DIR=/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/-hue-HUE_SERVER-id
echo $HUE_CONF_DIR
export HUE_CONF_DIR{{< /highlight >}}
Where is the most recent ID in that process directory for hue-HUE_SERVER.
