Importing a Grafana Dashboard

What

If another FileWave environment already has a useful Grafana dashboard, you can import its dashboard JSON instead of building the dashboard again from scratch.

When/Why

Import a dashboard when you have a trusted dashboard export from another system and want to reuse the same layout, panels, and queries.

How

From FileWave Anywhere, open Dashboard:

In Grafana, open Home > Dashboards:

Select New, then Import:

Import the JSON file or paste the exported JSON content:

Set a dashboard name and destination. Each Grafana dashboard must have a unique UID:

After import, open the dashboard and confirm that its panels load from the intended data source. An imported dashboard can retain data-source, variable, or UID references from the environment where it was exported.
