What would be the best way to import json dashboards / boards from grafana.com

No description provided.

This setup is very opinionated about this, and expects you to provide dashboards in form of configuration up front. If you want a dashboard from grafana.com you need to download it and add it to the dashboards config object.

Do you have an example of this? Wouldn't it make your file bloated?

A suggestion could be to be able to define voulumen mounts. The config maps with dashboard json is easy to create.

with jsonnet you can merge anything you want onto the existing structure, if that's what you want to do you can, but we prefer to do everything declaratively 🙂

An example would be

{
  grafanaDashboards+:: {
    'my-dashboard.json':
      dashboard.new('My Dashboard')
      .addTemplate(
        {
          current: {
            text: 'Prometheus',
            value: 'Prometheus',
          },
          hide: 0,
          label: null,
          name: 'datasource',
          options: [],
          query: 'prometheus',
          refresh: 1,
          regex: '',
          type: 'datasource',
        },
      )
      .addRow(
        row.new()
        .addPanel(graphPanel.new('My Panel', span=6, datasource='$datasource')
                  .addTarget(prometheus.target('vector(1)')))
      ),
  },
}

I added #52 as an example of how to add a dashboard.

Thanks.. It's not exactly what we need... but we could make it work.. Tried adding the entire json into the template tag.. that didn't work.. So we'll just use the code to create the configmap mappings in grafana and then we'll add the json to the created configmap in another deployment step.
