Reconstruct a dashboard from a backup file.

[Luc O.]

JIRA 7.13.13

I'm trying to figure out what makes up a dashboard in the nightly backup files that we have.  I've unzipped the archive file and ended up with 2 files, activeobjects.xml and entities.xml.  I've opened up the entities.xml and found the dashboard in question.  The xml tag is: 

<PortalPage id="12345" username="" pagename="" favCount="" layout="" version=""/>

From the above line, I took the id and searched for it again within the entities.xml file and found the pie chart that is on that dashboard:

<PortletConfiguration id="54321" portalpage="12345" columnNumber="" position="" gadgetXml="rest/gadgets/1.0/g/com.atlassian.jira.gadgets:pie-chart-gadget/gadgets/piechart-gadget.xml" color=""/> 

From there, I took the id  from the PortlerConfiguration tag and was able to find the configuration:

<GadgetUserPreference id="98765" portletconfiguration="54321" userprefkey="type" userprefvalue="filter"/>

Anyone know how to find the filter related to this pie chart gadget and then I suspect I'll have an id that I can use to lookup the filter definition.  I've tried using the id from the GadgetUserPreference tag but I'm not finding anything.

Thanks for your help and time!
