Saving, exporting, and importing dashboards

You can save, import, and export dashboards to preserve configurations, reuse layouts, and move dashboards between environments.

These options help you maintain consistency across environments and reduce the time required to build dashboards. Exported dashboards include structure and configuration details, and imported dashboards use the monitoring sources available in the environment.

Saving dashboards

When you create or edit a dashboard, you must save your changes so the configuration is stored and remains available in the dashboard list.

To save a dashboard:

  1. Create or open a dashboard.
  2. Add or modify charts, tables, or KPIs as needed.
  3. Click the Save icon Save to store the configuration.

Exporting dashboards

Export a dashboard when you need to reuse its configuration or move it to another environment.

To export a dashboard:

  1. Open the dashboard that you want to export.
  2. From the dashboard’s overflow menu, select Export.
  3. Download and save the JSON file.

For more information about converting dashboards into reusable templates, see Using dashboard templates.

Importing dashboards

Importing a dashboard allows you to reuse a configuration that was previously exported.

To import a dashboard:

  1. In the Dashboards tab, click Import Import.
  2. Upload the dashboard JSON file from your system.
  3. Review the dashboard information and confirm the import.
