Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For using GDG in docker I should build and store images by myself

Describe the solution you'd like Better to create a public docker registry with images by versions in it, it will be very useful for fast CLI usage via docker, and in helm charts/k8s clusters. This repository already has CI/CD for releasing new versions and a pretty good docker image, let's add a new docker release target in CI/CD process by building and pushing the image to the public docker registry (GitHub, DockerHub)

Apparently, Grafana does not plan to support importing library panels through POST API and they want people to use import dashboard API that is not documented.

https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/44003 https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/43525

It would be great if you could use that import API to support that feature.

I was planning on writing PR, but currently have busy schedule.

It would be nice if we could specify environment variables in the configuration file importer.yml

This will enable us to isolate secrets (tokens and passwords), and safely commit the configuration file to version control.

hi The authentication with Auth Token doesn't seem to work, even when created with Admin permission. Is it the API key I need to create or am I missing something here? Thanks a lot!

Our Grafana is running behind a self signed certificat.

I get this error while executing dash list

time="2021-11-29T13:39:10+01:00" level=warning msg="Error getting organizations: Get \"https://xxx.xxx/api/orgs\": local error: tls: no renegotiation"

Hi @safaci2000 I think it would be useful to import and export a single dashboard. A use case can be to copy a single dashboard for one organization to another when you have a lot organization and don't want, or can't, copy all dashboards every time.

gdg ctx set -c context_a
gdg dashboard import my-dash
gdg ctx set -c context_b
gdg dashboard export my-dash

Any idea is appreciated, I'm waiting of your feedback to start coding.

Hi @safaci2000 can you use https://github.com/grafana-tools/sdk instead of your forked repo https://github.com/netsage-project/sdk ? I think it's better for security reasons

Summary

AFAIK currently there is no way to list / export / import / delete alerts set in Grafana. We would like to start exporting them so that we can have a back up in git.

Features

I would like to implement the following commands:

./gdg alerts list
./gdg alerts import
,/gdg alerts export
./gdg alerts clear

Also, add a new block into the configuration file / parser. Something like:

contexts:
  all:
    dashboards_output: "dashboards"
    alerts_output: "alerts"

When exporting / importing, we would consider all of the alerts, just like with datasources. Meaning it would not be possible to export / import specific alerts.

Notes

• API documentation https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/http_api/alerting/
• I very much won't mind implementing this, but I will have time for this at best at the start of November. So I am creating an issue to first ask whether there are any plans for this, or whether by any chance you dont have a partial code for it already. :shrug:

Hi all,

I have multiple grafana instances with many folders and wanna sync my folders from one dc to another. Can we have an option to import a folder from grafana at DC1 to my local folder dashboards/DC1 and then switch context to DC2 and export dashboards/DC1 to grafana at DC2? let me also say that I don't want to change output_path of dc2 to dashboards/DC1. I need it for example as an command line argument.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this project!

When listing/importing dashboards from a Grafana instance with more than 1000 dashboards, you only get the dashboards within the watched folder that were returned in the first 1000 results. As result, in my case I only imported 37 dashboards instead of all 225.

I have no immediate need for this feature, but hopefully it could safe others some time or trouble in the short term.

Hi, you have a wonderful project!

As I was using it, I found a few things that were not mentioned in the documentation, and which I thought would help me get to use your project much faster. So, I created this PR.

Things I am trying to achieve:

• Provide minimal configuration needed to import/export the dashboards; The importer-example.yml is great, but I wasn't sure what is needed, and which parts should be adjusted.
• Mention of how the user will know if the things are working; Before, I wasn't 100% sure whether I need to also specify organization etc., and when I successfully printed the dashboards, I also got a log complaining about permissions, although that was just fine.
• Showcase of the folder structure in case you are uploading; Before, I wasn't sure about the structure, and if there are some "prefix" folders in Grafana, so I hope this will make it explicit.

I am very much open to any adjustments, this was more something I quickly wrote / copy pasted from my own documentation.

Create a full Team CRUD including associated members for a given team.

• Ability to delete, save and recreate all teams.
• Ability to recreate all the teams with any existing users associated with the given team.
• Ability to list all the current teams.

Request for full CRUD support for notification channels was made, so adding a ticket to capture the request. Please vote up if you're also interested in this feature.

Problem: I use grafana alerting system where I put alert rules in grafana directly. I would like them also to be backed-up like everything else

Solution: Having a way to backup alert rules like dashboards, datasources, etc

alternatives: grafana alerts exporter. this is a bit basic though, and I already appreciate very much gdg. I would like to be able to use only gdg for both dashboards and alert rules

The wizard context is a bit outdated and hasn't been maintained with all the new features that have been added. It would be nice to take another pass to add support for the various new components like cloud support and such that have come in.

Hello gdg.. I could able to import and export the dashboards, it really helpful. But my concern is while creating a new context for importing, it asks "List the folders you wish to manage (example: folder1,folder2)? (Blank for General)?".Here manually i was entering the folder names (somewhat hectic). So is there any solution like wildcard which allows to select all the dashboard folders.

expectation: could able to select all the dashboards rather giving multiple folder names

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Given two valid contexts, it would be nice to have the ability to synchronize a particular entity ie. dashboards between two contexts.

Source context could use grafana instance or the storage system as an input while the destination should always be a grafana insurance.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Example : gdg sync dashboards staging production gdg sync datasources --backup staging production
