Old deprecated API is removed in 9.0. Start using the saved objects API from this version.

Would it be needed to set IncludeReferencesDeep to true, to get other references used in the dashboards like tags, searches, maps... ?

Tested these changes in some packages, and it looks that it works as expected.

Just one note when trying to export a dashboard from aws package (using Elastic stack 9.0.0).

Tested to export [Metrics AWS] ALB Overview (ID: aws-24f3e07a-b5f5-470c-8305-47c9626db37b) dashboard and there was change that I didn't expect:

At least that aws field. I don't know what that it mean. Tested with two other AWS dashboards and that change is not present, that field was not present.

No idea where this aws field comes from 🤔 It is committed in the repository, the four appearances that we have come from this PR: https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/10444/files#diff-72a671ea70c6cb60a9f9e9fa1c4e125ab30da611219246f9f32d274c914a0426R1300

@anil-elastic do you happen to remember how you exported these dashboards?

I think we can ignore this, if this field is not being exported it is likely being ignored by Kibana.

Just tried with elastic-package v0.111.0 with stack 8.18.1, and that aws field is removed too.
But I detected another difference, in this PR managed field is removed. At least with the example I tested:

elastic-package stack up -v -d --version 8.18.1
cd /path/to/repo/integrations/packages/aws
elastic-package install -v
elsatic-package export dashboards --id aws-24f3e07a-b5f5-470c-8305-47c9626db37b

As the stack is 8.18.1 version, they both should be using the same API and it is shown in the debug output (there is an extra &, but it is working):

2025/05/22 09:47:36 DEBUG GET https://127.0.0.1:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=aws-24f3e07a-b5f5-470c-8305-47c9626db37b&

There are other differences in the diff, I just show here the ones related to managed

I cannot tell why that managed field is removed when using the changes in this PR when stack used is 8.18.1. It looks like that it is not changed how dashboards are exported before 9.0.0.

This field is explicitly removed by elastic-package, and managed by Fleet on installation.

Maybe this dashboard was exported without elastic-package, or with an older version.
