Importing a Grafana Dashboard

What

There's no need to build a grafana dashboard from scratch if you can "borrow" one from a friend.  This article explains how to import a grafana dashboard from another system.

When/Why

We'll want to import a dashboard whenever someone else has done the work for us, and we'd like to have a dashboard the easy way.

How

The steps are actually quite simple...from FileWave Anywhere, Go To Dashboard:

Within the dashboard, go to Home> Dashboards:

Then to New, Import:

And then either import the JSON file or copy and paste the JSON content:

Now just set a name and a destination (note: every dashboard must have a unique UID):

And that is it, our new dashboard is imported:
