FYI, the production log interface Kibana (aka logstash) is switching from version 3 to 4, which are unfortunately incompatible. That means that you will need to recreate them. The forwarded mail provides more detail.

Things are looking pretty good now for an upgrade sometime next week (2016-07-05 - 2016-07-08) [0]. As announced previously, saved Kibana dashboards are not portable from our existing Kibana3 to the new Kibana4. The current plan is to copy over to production all dashboards that have been created at https://kibana4.wmflabs.org (beta cluster test server). I'll be doing some work over the next couple of days to make sure the dashboards I can't live without have been recreated there. I would suggest that others do the same or ping me to see if I have time to port their dashboard for them. Creating a dashboard in Kibana4 is similar to Kibana3, but there is at least one big difference. The "panels" from Kibana3 have been replaced with "visualizations" in Kibana4. A visualization exists outside of a dashboard, may or may not be associated with an existing saved query, and must be made before it can be added to a dashboard. This takes a bit of poking at to get comfortable with but all in all it's not a horrible process. There's a video on elastic.co [1] that may or may not be helpful in understanding how to port things over.
