Importing Dashboards

Access pre-built dashboards from the gallery to quickly gain insights into your infrastructure, or import custom dashboards you've exported from other tenants. Gallery dashboards are tailored to your environment's data collectors and designed to answer specific business questions, while exported dashboards let you share useful configurations across multiple tenants.

To import a dashboard from the gallery, do the following:

  1. Select Observability > Explore > All Dashboards

  2. Click on +Import Dashboard and choose Import From Gallery.

    A list of Recommended Dashboards is displayed, based on the data collectors in your environment. Dashboards are available to help answer questions around different types of objects, including AWS, NetApp, Storage, VMware, and others.

  3. Select one or more dashboards from the list and click Add Dashboards. These dashboards will show in your dashboard list.

In addition to the Recommended Dashboards, you can also choose to import Additional Dashboards that are not relevant to your current data. For example, if you have no storage data collectors currently installed but are planning on configuring some in the future, you may still choose to import the storage-relevant dashboards. These dashboards will be available for display but may not show any relevant data until at least one storage data collector is configured.

Importing from the dashboard gallery is available to users with Administrator or Account Owner role.

Importing an Exported Dashboard

To export a dashboard, on the Observability > Explore > All Dashboards page, click on the menu to the right of the dashboard and choose Export. You can also select multiple dashboards and choose Export from the Bulk Actions drop-down. The dashboards are saved in a .ZIP file on your local system.

To import the dashboard, navigate to the desired tenant and do the following:

  1. Select Observability > Explore > All Dashboards

  2. Click on +Import Dashboard and choose Import From File. Select the .ZIP of the file you previously exported. The dashboard(s) will be imported and will show in your dashboard list. Note that if you are importing a dashboard with the same name as an existing dashboard, a "(2)" will appended to the dashboard name.
