Make dashboard independent to data source uid #11

Closed joergflorin closed 2 years ago

joergflorin commented 2 years ago

I just started using grafana and had problems getting the dashboard run in my grafana container. I found, that the problem was the data source uid wich was different in my grafana container. So I had to change the uid manually in the dashboard json before importing it.

I reexported the dashboard with "Sharing -> Export" with the "Export for sharing externally" option set so the specific data source can be selected while importing the dashboard.

Have you try to download the dashboard directly from grafana community, instead of using the json file from my github ?

First of all: Thank you for your work and sharing the project. I just tried following your doc and spend some time figuring out what is wrong. This was my first Grafana installation and I want to contribute my solution to help others walking thru the doc like me. I haven’t tried the dashboard from Grafana community and will check it out the next days. Cheers Jörg

Hi, I checked the community dashboard 15120 and it works with selecting the data source in import. May be a good idea to refer to the community dashboard instead to the one checked in to this repository - or have I overseen a hint? I redraw my pull request, it is better to use the community dashboard.
