Import a Dashboard

Use the import feature to add dashboards from saved JSON files or shared templates. This is useful for reusing dashboards across environments or restoring from a backup.

Import a dashboard from JSON

  1. Open the Dashboards section in the Kloudfuse UI.

  2. Click Import Dashboard JSON.

  3. Select and upload a .json file from your local system.

  4. Review the imported dashboard details, such as title, folder assignment, and variables.

  5. (Optional) Change the folder to control access and organization.

  6. Click Import Dashboard to complete the process.

If the dashboard UID in the JSON matches an existing dashboard, Kloudfuse prompts you before overwriting. Choose Replace to overwrite or Cancel to keep the existing dashboard.

Best practices

  • Always export a backup of existing dashboards before importing changes.

  • Keep versioned JSON files in source control for easier rollback.

  • Update any data source or variable references after import to match your environment.
