Use predictable object IDs #269

Description

Improvement Request

The saved objects (such as dashboards and visualizations) need unique ID strings to be added to Kibana. Currently, we are generating random UUID strings for each object before adding them (except for the overall scoreboard). This has two effects:

  1. URLs for dashboards and visualizations are meaningless to end-users, and harder to create inter-dashboard links for.
  2. Re-running the add-teams.sh script will create duplicate dashboards and visualizations, causing a lot of clutter in Kibana.

A predictable ID generation scheme should be implemented to fix these issues.
