Hello!
I'm trying to create automatization of export dashboards, folders, datasources from all org.
My problem:

  • Trying to export dashboard from folder "Test" via api
  • Delete dashboard via UI
  • Trying to import dasboard via api
  • Open UI Grafana, dashboard was recreated at "General" folder.
    What i try to do:
  • Login to Grafana, create folder "Test" and in this folder dashboard "Test_dashboard".
  • Login to Orgs, get list of dashboards via api
curl --silent -u $user:$pass "${grafanaurl}/api/search?query=&" | jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "dash-db") | .uid'
  • Download dashboard via curl
curl --silent -u $user:$pass "${grafanaurl}/api/dashboards/uid/$dash" | jq -r . >${dash}.json
  • Delete dashboard from UI Grafana.
  • Import this dashboard to Grafana via curl
cat $FILE | jq '. * {overwrite: true, dashboard: {id: null}}' | curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u $user:$pass "$grafanaurl/api/dashboards/db" -d @- ;
  • Open UI Grafana, dashboard was recreated at "General" folder. (Expected to appear in the "Test" folder)

Can anyone help with this problem? The documentation says that the JSON file should have "folderId or the folderUid property".
Link: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/dashboard/#create--update-dashboard
In JSON file i have all tags, because grafana make it itself.
Tryin to reduce nubmer of it , move from meta, but it doesnt work.

You have to put the folderUid into the root object.

Hello guys!

I created this script https://gist.github.com/aeciopires/e1adfd808097ee9260a419263ccae099 based in work of @KMurphs in this comment: https://gist.github.com/crisidev/bd52bdcc7f029be2f295?permalink_comment_id=4197302#gistcomment-4197302

The script can export datasources and dashboards of Grafana, but I only tested with Grafana 6.6.x

Example of execution script:

chmod +x exportGrafanaDashboadsAndDatasources.sh
./exportGrafanaDashboadsAndDatasources.sh

[INFO] Datasource AWS_Cloudwatch_PRD-125 exported
[INFO] Encrypting the file ./backup_grafana_dashboards_20230321_1347/datasources/grafana-datasource-AWS_Cloudwatch_PRD-125.json...
[..]
[INFO] Dashboard alerts-prometheus-kGqyea3Zz exported
[..]

do you have anything to export grafana alerts?

A simple script to export grafana rules/alerts

#!/bin/bash

GRAFANA_DOMAIN=$1
GRAFANA_TOKEN=$2

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer ${GRAFANA_TOKEN}" \
	     "https://${GRAFANA_DOMAIN}/api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules" | jq > './alerts.json'

I successfully executed the script, but how do I import it?

Just trowing here some recent contribution from "Gonzalo Di Biase" on Grafana Slack

export KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
export HOST=https://mygrafana.mydomain

for dash in $(curl -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEY}" ${HOST}/api/search\?query\=\& | jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "dash-db") | .uid'); do
  curl -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEY}" ${HOST}/api/dashboards/uid/$dash \
    | jq '. |= (.folderUid=.meta.folderUid) | del(.meta) |del(.dashboard.id) + {overwrite: true}' \
    > "${SCRIPT_DIR}/export/${NAME}/dashboards/${dash}.json"
  echo "Dashboard: ${NAME} - ${dash} saved."
done
