Imported Dashboard doesn't show up in list if there are errors

[debadair]

I was trying to import the Watcher dashboard that Steve created. When I import, I get an error and the dashboard doesn't show up in the list until you refresh the page. The search & visualizations counts do update:

What error are you seeing? Was it successfully added to the .kibana index?

The error was "Could not locate that index pattern", because I had neglected to configure the pattern. As I was thrashing, I deleted the objects & reimported a number of times. The dashboard ends up in a weird partially-imported state--it appears in the dashboard list when you refresh, but the associated search and/or visualizations aren't always loaded. (They were some times, but not others.) Everything works just fine as long as you configure the index pattern first.

I've seen this error using the exported json found in #5026
