I tried to change the homepage of Grafana but I can’t save the changes. also, I tried to add a new home dashboard but it didn’t appear in the select box [image] Please advice. PS: how can I change the dashboard json file as a workaround? Best Regards Ameed

Hi, You have to star the dashboard you want to be your home dashboard.

Hi, I am not sure about how to start the dashboard, but I have many dashboards on my Grafana. Please let me know. Best Regards Ameed

but still i am seeing it as my default home one.

you have to create new dashboard then mark it as a favorite then go to references and select the created dashboard [image]

cool thanks got it.Do you know can we change background of grafana dashboard?

you can change the theme to black or white

How do I do this programatically? I’ve changed the home dash, starred it and selected in preferences, but can’t see where this dashboard json is saved on the file-system, how to star or where the preference is saved.

All dashboards are stored in a database, per default sqlite. Use the API to change preferences programatically.

Can we select a different Dashboard as home during graphana provisioning?

Currently you cannot use provisioning for select the home dashboard. You have to use the API to set the selected home dashboard.
