Common Workflows

Provisioning dashboards from disk

1. Drop dashboard JSON file(s) under /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/
2. Add a provider in provisioning/dashboards/default.yaml (see § Dashboard provisioning below)
3. Restart Grafana so the provider config is loaded
4. Verify the dashboard landed:

   curl https://grafana.example.com/api/dashboards/uid/<uid> \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" | jq '.dashboard.title'
   

   Returns the title → success. 404 → provisioning didn't pick it up; check Grafana server logs (journalctl -u grafana-server | grep -i provisioning) for parse errors.
