Fail to export dashboards in Serverless projects #2949
Description
Relates #1922
Using elastic-package to export dashboards from a Serverless project fails due to the API used to find the dashboards:
$ elastic-package export dashboards -v
2025/09/24 11:58:53 WARN CommitHash is undefined, in both /home/user/.elastic-package/version and the compiled binary, config may be out of date.

2025/09/24 11:58:53 DEBUG Find dashboards using the Saved Objects API
Error: prompt for dashboard selection failed: finding dashboards failed: can't fetch page with results: could not find dashboards; API status code = 400; response body = {"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"uri [/api/saved_objects/_find] with method [get] exists but is not available with the current configuration"}The API that it is failing is the one to look for the available dashboards in the stack:
A part from the error given when it is used in Serverless, this API is also marked as deprecated:
https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/kibana/v8/operation/operation-findsavedobjects
Could this API be replaced for another one to keep the same behavior?
How to reproduce this error
- Start a new elastic-package with the serverless provider as detailed in https://github.com/elastic/elastic-package/blob/main/docs/howto/use_serverless_stack.md#the-serverless-stack-provider
- Install a package and run export dashboards
cd /path/to/package
elastic-package install -v
elastic-package export dashboards -v
