Hello I am wanting to change my dashboard of a free version of splunk for a version with license, but this is a licensed version 4.2.3 .. even managed to migrate saved searches and visions .. I just can not migrate dashboards,

where are this files? I can not just copy the directory because I'm using an existing app with other things in the licensed version.

Very strange ... I got a copy of the free version of the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/data/ui/views to my other in $SPLUNK_HOME/splunk/etc/apps/incidents/local/data/ui/views, also copied $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/metadata/local.meta to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/incidents/metadata/local.meta and still can not view the dashboards.

All the dashboards XML-s YOU build will be in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/<the app>/local/data/ui/views. But if you go to under manager User interface--> Views, you'll see them there.
