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:
