Open shantanoo-desai opened 10 months ago

shantanoo-desai commented 10 months ago

Description

Provide playbook(s) to import / export Grafana Dashboards. Conduct checks on datasource compatibility. Use the ansible.community.grafana Galaxy Collection for the playbook modules.

Tasks

[ ] Import a Dashboard JSON file into the Grafana instance
[ ] Export an existing Dashboard JSON file from the Grafana instance

Update

Importing the Grafana Dashboard JSON via the User-Interface has better User-Experience than via the ansible.community.grafana collection
ansible.community.grafana import / export features rely on dashboards file to exist on the controlled nodes NOT on the controller node.
