## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 62, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### `get_available_spaces` (~37 tokens)

Get all available Kibana spaces with current context

Input parameters:

- `include_details` (boolean): Include detailed space information (name, description, etc.)

### `vl_search_saved_objects` (~796 tokens)

Search for Kibana saved objects using Elasticsearch query syntax. This is a universal tool that can search across all saved object types (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). IMPORTANT: You must specify the 'types' parameter - it is required by the Kibana API. PERFORMANCE TIPS: Always use 'fields' parameter to specify only needed fields (e.g., ['title', 'description']) for faster responses. Use 'perPage' 5-20 for optimal speed. PAGINATION: To get all results, make multiple requests with incrementing 'page' numbers (page=1, page=2, etc.) until you receive fewer results than 'perPage'. Don't stop at the first page - iterate through all pages for complete data. Returns formatted saved object information including type, title, description, and timestamps.

Input parameters:

- `aggs` (string): Aggregation structure, serialized as a string. Use for advanced analytics on saved objects.
- `defaultSearchOperator` (string): Default operator for simple_query_string (OR/AND, default: OR)
- `fields`: PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION: Specify which fields to return in the attributes key. Examples: ['title', 'description'] for basic info, ['title', 'description', 'updated_at'] for metadata. IMPORTANT: Usin…
- `filter` (string): KQL string filter (e.g., 'dashboard.attributes.title: "My Dashboard"')
- `hasNoReference`: Filter to objects that do not have a relationship with the type and identifier combination. Example: {type: 'index-pattern', id: 'my-pattern-id'}
- `hasNoReferenceOperator` (string): Operator for has_no_reference parameter (OR/AND, default: OR)
- `hasReference`: Filter to objects that have a relationship with the type and ID combination. Example: {type: 'index-pattern', id: 'my-pattern-id'}
- `hasReferenceOperator` (string): Operator for has_reference parameter (OR/AND, default: OR)
- `page` (number): Page number to return (starts from 1). Use with perPage for pagination. Example: page=1 gets first 20 results, page=2 gets results 21-40, etc. IMPORTANT: To get all results, you need to make multiple…
- `perPage` (number): Number of saved objects per page (default: 20). PERFORMANCE TIP: Use 5-20 for faster responses. Large values (>50) can be slow and may timeout. Always combine with 'fields' parameter to limit data wh…
- `search` (string): Search query to filter saved objects. Supports boolean operators (AND, OR), wildcards (*), and phrases in quotes. Example: 'nginx AND logs' or 'web*'.
- `sortField` (string): Field to sort by (e.g., 'updated_at', 'created_at', 'type', 'dashboard.attributes.title')
- `sortOrder` (string): Sort order: 'asc' for ascending, 'desc' for descending (default: 'desc')
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)
- `types` (required): REQUIRED: Saved object types to include. Common types: 'dashboard', 'visualization', 'index-pattern', 'search', 'config', 'lens', 'map', 'tag', 'canvas-workpad', 'canvas-element'. Use ['dashboard', '…

### `vl_get_saved_object` (~285 tokens)

Get a single Kibana saved object by type and ID. This is a universal tool that can retrieve any type of saved object (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.) by its exact type and ID. Use this when you know the specific object you want to retrieve. PERFORMANCE: This is much faster than searching when you have the exact type and ID.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): REQUIRED: The saved object ID. This is the unique identifier for the specific object you want to retrieve.
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)
- `type` (required): REQUIRED: The saved object type. Common types: 'dashboard', 'visualization', 'index-pattern', 'search', 'config', 'lens', 'map', 'tag', 'canvas-workpad', 'canvas-element'. Supports multiple formats:…
- `useResolve` (boolean): Use resolve API instead of get API. The resolve API can handle legacy URL aliases from object ID migrations. Use this if you're having trouble finding an object that may have had its ID changed durin…

### `vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects` (~193 tokens)

Bulk delete multiple Kibana saved objects by type and ID. This is a destructive operation that permanently removes saved objects (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). WARNING: Deleted objects cannot be recovered. Use with caution. IMPORTANT: Objects that exist in multiple namespaces require the 'force' parameter to be deleted.

Input parameters:

- `force` (boolean): Force deletion of objects that exist in multiple namespaces. Set to true if you get an error about objects existing in multiple namespaces. WARNING: This also deletes legacy URL aliases and can place…
- `objects` (array, required): REQUIRED: Array of objects to delete. Each object must have 'type' and 'id' fields. Minimum 1 object required.
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)

### `vl_create_saved_object` (~412 tokens)

Create a new Kibana saved object (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). This is a universal tool that can create any type of saved object by specifying the type and attributes. Each object type has specific attribute requirements. IMPORTANT: The 'title' field is required for most object types. Complex fields like panelsJSON, visState should be JSON strings.

Input parameters:

- `attributes` (object, required): REQUIRED: Object containing the saved object attributes. Structure varies by type. Common fields: 'title' (required for most types), 'description'. Dashboard: 'panelsJSON', 'timeRestore'. Visualizati…
- `id` (string): OPTIONAL: Specific ID for the saved object. If not provided, Kibana will auto-generate a unique ID. Use this when you need a predictable ID or when recreating objects.
- `initialNamespaces` (array): OPTIONAL: Array of initial namespaces for the object. Used for multi-tenant setups. If not specified, object will be created in the default namespace.
- `overwrite` (boolean): OPTIONAL: Whether to overwrite an existing object with the same ID. Only relevant when 'id' is specified. Default: false. Set to true to replace existing objects.
- `references` (array): OPTIONAL: Array of references to other saved objects. Used to link objects together (e.g., dashboard panels referencing visualizations). Each reference needs id, type, and name.
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)
- `type` (required): REQUIRED: The saved object type. Common types: 'dashboard', 'visualization', 'index-pattern', 'search', 'config', 'lens', 'map', 'tag', 'canvas-workpad', 'canvas-element'. Supports multiple formats b…

### `vl_update_saved_object` (~360 tokens)

Update a single Kibana saved object by type and ID. This performs a partial update - only the specified attributes will be changed, other attributes remain unchanged. Supports all saved object types (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). IMPORTANT: Use version parameter for optimistic concurrency control to prevent conflicts.

Input parameters:

- `attributes` (object, required): REQUIRED: Object containing the attributes to update. Only specified attributes will be changed (partial update). Common fields: 'title', 'description'. Type-specific fields: Dashboard: 'panelsJSON',…
- `id` (string, required): REQUIRED: The saved object ID. This is the unique identifier for the object you want to update.
- `references` (array): OPTIONAL: Array of references to other saved objects. Updates the object's references. Each reference needs id, type, and name.
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)
- `type` (required): REQUIRED: The saved object type. Common types: 'dashboard', 'visualization', 'index-pattern', 'search', 'config', 'lens', 'map', 'tag', 'canvas-workpad', 'canvas-element'. Supports multiple formats b…
- `upsert` (object): OPTIONAL: Attributes to use if the object doesn't exist (will create object if not found). Useful for create-or-update scenarios.
- `version` (string): OPTIONAL: Version string for optimistic concurrency control. Use this to prevent conflicts when multiple processes update the same object. Get the version from a previous get/search operation.

### `vl_bulk_update_saved_objects` (~143 tokens)

Update multiple Kibana saved objects in a single operation. Each object can be of different types and will be partially updated (only specified attributes changed). Supports all saved object types (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). PERFORMANCE: More efficient than multiple single updates. Each object can have individual version control.

Input parameters:

- `objects` (array, required): REQUIRED: Array of objects to update. Each object must have 'type', 'id', and 'attributes' fields. Minimum 1 object required.
- `space` (string): Target Kibana space (optional, defaults to configured space)
