Import Custom Dashboards¶

By using Grafana CRD, you can incorporate the management and deployment of dashboards into the lifecycle management of Kubernetes. This enables version control, automated deployment, and cluster-level management of dashboards. This page describes how to import custom dashboards using CRD and the UI interface.

Steps¶

1. Log in to the DCE 5.0 platform and go to Container Management . Select the kpanda-global-cluster from the cluster list.

2. Choose Custom Resources from the left navigation pane. Look for the grafanadashboards.integreatly.org file in the list and click it to view the details.

3. Click YAML Create and use the following template. Replace the dashboard JSON in the Json field.

   • namespace : Specify the target namespace.
   • name : Provide a name for the dashboard.
   • label : Mandatory. Set the label as operator.insight.io/managed-by: insight .

     namespace: insight-system
   spec:
     json: >
       {
