Where in Git can I find the Grafana dashboard json URL so it can be used with dashboardProviders

[darnone]

What steps did you take and what happened: This is not really an issue - more like a question. Trying to import dashboard 16829 using grafana dashboardProvider but I don't have a url path to the dashboard json. I that available?

What did you expect to happen: Just looking for the dashboard json path. Something like

                          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotdc/grafana-dashboards-kubernetes

Is this the link you are looking for? https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/16829-kubernetes-tanzu-velero/

The link I am looking for would end in .json

If you open this in the browser it would download a .json https://grafana.com/api/dashboards/16829/revisions/latest/download

I am aware of how to download the json. Perhaps I am asking the wrong question When we deploy the kube-prometheus-stack, grafana is configured to install the Kubernetes dashboards automatically. It looks like the following. At the bottom, you can see how I am pulling in the dashboards straight from Git. I suppose I could pull a local file, however,

1.) I am new to this 2.) the kube-prometheus-stack is deployed by terraform helm release and we do use any external files

So if the dashboard cannot be pulled this way, I am looking for ideas of how to do this, working around the manual step of installing a json, in the interest of automation.

dashboardProviders:
    dashboardproviders.yaml:
      apiVersion: 1
      providers:
        - name: "grafana-dashboards-kubernetes"
          orgId: 1
          folder: "Kubernetes"
          type: file
          disableDeletion: true
          editable: true
          options:
            path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/grafana-dashboards-kubernetes
        - name: "grafana-dashboards-cloudbees"
          orgId: 1
          folder: "CloudBees"
          type: file
          disableDeletion: false
          editable: true
          options:
            path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/grafana-dashboards-cloudbees

Can you not replace json url with this /download link?

Here's curl result, without even needing to use -L to follow redirects.

curl https://grafana.com/api/dashboards/16829/revisions/latest/download
{
  "annotations": {
    "list": [
  ...

Here's an example following your syntax I found on github. I assume it should work for you too. https://github.com/mhumeSF/nix-media/blob/ec4cfe7053926e80617290705034e61551e892f0/cluster/apps/monitoring/grafana/app/helmrelease.yaml#L191

The link need not end in .json
