cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field

[ingvarch]

Hello,

Thank you for Grafana-sync, but I faced this issue during sync my dashboards:

2021/03/05 11:46:32 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field Board.panels of type string for db/kubernetes-networking-namespace-pods
2021/03/05 11:46:32 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field Board.panels of type string for db/kubernetes-networking-pod
2021/03/05 11:46:34 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field TemplateVar.templating.list.query of type string for db/loki-quick-search
2021/03/05 11:46:36 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field TemplateVar.templating.list.query of type string for db/services-overview

Here is a gist with dashboards https://gist.github.com/ingvarch/51ef3022738d3b9011b2ce802a605aaf

I use :

Grafana v7.4.2 (29e75ad97b) Grafana-sync - 1.1.0

[mpostument]

Hello, thank you for reporting an issue. I will check why some dashboards are not synced

[ingvarch]

I found that if I remove grafana variables namespace and pod in loki-quick-search dashboard - I can pull this dashboard.

[mpostument]

I think that issue with fixed in the latest version of sdk. I Will try to update SDK and test

[mpostument]

@ingvarch can you try this version 1.1.1?

[ingvarch]

Yes, I tried version 1.1.1 but the same problem

[mpostument]

I opened issue for grafana sdk. Will try to look at it by myself once I have free time

Hi @mpostument , i get the same Problem with one of my dashboards. How could this error be debuged? Is there a verbose oder debug function? I use :

Grafana v7.3.7 (1e261642f4) Grafana-sync - 1.2.0 2021/03/08 14:15:49 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field Board.panels of type string for db/aufteilung-Dashboard

[mpostument]

This this sdk issue. I will check if I can get additional information from sdk itself

[ingvarch]

Hello, @mpostument

Any updates ?

[mpostument]

This PR was merged yesterday. Potentially it should resolve issue. Will update code late today

[mpostument]

Try if this version works https://github.com/mpostument/grafana-sync/releases/tag/1.4.1

[ingvarch]

Sorry for my delay. It still doesn't work. Version 1.4.1

same/similar issue:

2022/06/13 16:15:19 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field FieldConfigCustom.fieldConfig.defaults.custom.spanNulls of type bool (panel "$deployment" of type "timeseries") for db/deployment-network-io

[mpostument]

Please try this version https://github.com/mpostument/grafana-sync/releases/tag/1.4.8 It includes a new version of grafana SDK which may solve this issue

[sarasensible]

I tried the most recent 1.4.8 release and I am getting these errors:

The errors looks somewhat different so maybe progress?

config item :

when adding quote to OFF it's working :

  storage:

    sync: "OFF"

Running 1.4.10, experiencing the same issue.

I am having a similar problem with 1.7.0:

2024/02/14 11:51:44 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field Target.targets.groupBy of type []string (panel "Max Memory Usage (last 15m)" of type "bargauge") for db/gitlab-runners-metrics

Here is a JSON export of the dashboard in question: gitlab-runners-metrics.json

similar issue with grafana-sync 1.7.0 and grafana 10.2.3

@mpostument is there a chance to take a look into my comment

https://github.com/mpostument/grafana-sync/issues/6#issuecomment-1948184832

[mpostument]

Sorry, there is no fix yet. Looks like grafana sdk is no longer developed. I don't see any PR accepted in sdk repo. Don't have fix right now

[BouchaaraAdil]

@mpostument do you think that the grafana sdk is replaced with https://github.com/grafana/grafana-plugin-sdk-go or it's a different thing?
